Thanks Kari, I forgot to tell her that.To check for dehydration gently pinch the skin on her back, if it stays up then she is dehydrated, if it retracts back to normal she's fine.
You're doing a great job Ali. Keep up the good work. I don't think the baby has brain damage. She's probably the runt of the litter and is a little slow in learning. Once she gets a little stronger, she'll probably lock on a teat and fill her belly. Mama cats have this sixth sense when it comes to their kids. If they sense that one of them is not well, or will not survive, they will abandon it. That's the way nature works.
