Give her some bread soaked in milk, she may like that and it will start her eating. Buy some dry kitten food.

A trip to the vet for flea meds is first! Milk can give cats diahrrea, but you could try some just born kitten formula on bread, or soft kitten food. Tuna... I've taken iams dry kitten food and blended it with water in the blender before. Many hugs to kitty. Keep us updated, please.

Glad kitty is doing better! Furbabies are worth the work you put into them. You get the return on your investment the first time they cuddle on your lap.:)

I had 2 stray kittens show up at my home recently. Same situation, had fleas, stopped eating after the initial gorging of food because they were also starving. I took to the vet 2 days later, treated for fleas. The vet told me that fleas on a kitten can cause them to become really sick and not eat. He also told me that people don't realize how much blood is taken by the fleas and this is the reason that they become sick. The vet can also do test to check for a common intestial problem, but only they will be able to do this. Within 24 hours, my kittens are eating again. Good Luck!
