The mother cat may have just lost interest in the kittens, in this case you will have to bottle feed them yourself. As for the momma cat, try tempting her with her favorite food and treats. Just give her what she wants (within reason) for now. You could try hot dogs, Fish, Cheese, Gourmet wet cat food, Treats, etc., etc....good luck on getting them to eat

P.S. She may just be stressed, how old is she? Try taking her or the kittens out of the room and  she may eat in peace and quiet. Good vibes coming your way

 I think this is an ASAP  vet errant.  Something serious is amiss!   Good you have taken over the responsibility to give them food.  Is the mom still washing them and helping them eliminate?   If not, yhou must do it too...

Good also, you are giving the mom water and liquid food with syringe.   She needs it.

Shadowkittys advices are good as long as they go.   Try them, why not.  But I think its not enough, being an emergency vet errand.

Please continue to report and ask questions!

Good luck!
