    Catnapper said what I was going to say. Warming up the milk helps and I have had to do that too where I would open their mouths to make them take it. It usually works, so if this little one still won't take it then she's really not feeling well. I hope the little one will be alright!

    Have you tried baby food? You may have to force feed her to get her going, she is just to pretty to not make it. I would be trying to feed her everything I could think of, constantly shoving something in her mouth. Maybe a vet can give you something to increase her appetite.

    Count me in on the baby food suggestion. It was the only thing that kept Kuhio going when she was nothing but skin and bones.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Good luck! Unfortunately, I have no advice, only hugs!

    She could have coccidea which has been rampant this year. However many times the vets can't spot it in the feces. It probably wouldn't hurt to ask about putting her on Albon anyway. Coccidea is like having a stomach flu 24/ 7. And get some A/D from the vet, or baby food as already suggested and make her eat! Get a few puppy sized oral syringes and force her to eat several times a day. A kitten her size can go downhill very quickly if they aren't getting enough nutrients. She may need sub-q fluids too. Poor little infant kitty....purrayers winging in.

    I had to work this morning, but have the afternoon off. I'm taking a poop sample over to the Humane Society to be tested, and then I'm headed to the store to buy baby food! She won't eat the canned A/D that the Humane Soceity gave us to feed them.

    All three kittens are now on Clavimox, as "Archie" has been sneezing a lot and has a runny nose and slight discharge from his eyes. He's also got some loose stools when he poops in the litter box. The other two don't at this point. I started them on the Clavimox yesterday. The Humane Society provided the Clavimox when I called them and asked them about it.

    My son got the little fuzzball to drink some more formula this morning, but nothing else. I'll go run those errands, and get back on here later today. Thanks for your suggestions---everything helps!
