    Taking it to the vet and see if he can tell you what is wrong with it is probably it's only chance.. The mother may be rejecting it because she doesn't want the other kittens to get what it has. If it can be saved you can feed it a milk replacement until its mother will accept it again, if she will. Also please consider spaying the mother , when the kittens are old enough to eat on their own.

    Go to a vet and get kitten instant milk and use a dropper every 2 hours or so. I bet what happened is that one was the smallest and the mother knows and needs to give the other kittens the most milk so they will survive so go to your vet and ask them!!
