I really don't know but will try...Thank you
We have a member living in India,  Indie´andButton - or so, whom could make do terrific kitten-suitable food with the help of local butchers.   Perhaps you can do so too??   Almost everything from animals shoud do, just do it in small pieces, or mix it out with a mixer...  May be raw if the hygiene is OK.  One of the few exceptions is raw pig meat - this may be dangerous for cats.    Goats milk as mentioned earlier, is very good, in any form.   sheeps milk should be OK, buffalo milk is ok   If the kitten is very weak, give it water with some honey... it gives energy.  @indie-n-button

Can you get a can of evaporated milk? Mix this with an egg yolk, one tablespoon of mayonnaise, and one tablespoon of water. Add a sprinkle of salt. This is a good homemade mixture. Better than cow's milk. Give this to her drop by drop in the side of her mouth.

Also, rub her belly to see if you can stimulate her digestion, as well as a poop. Poor baby!

You can probably try with this, the sweet in itself isnt dangerous.  The question is if its sweetened, or if its boiled so long the lactose broke down and it is sweet because of it.   If the second, it may even be excellent...  

Some sorts are boiled in, and sweet because of it, (excellent!)  other are condensed, AND sweetened.

What have you given the kitten into this moment?  As time is running and you doesnt seem tof found no solution as yet?  Its becoming more and more alarming!

In the begining you tried with cow milk.  How did she reacted?  If she was OK, no gases and no diarrhea, she is perhaps one of those lucky whom do manage cow milk.

If so, it may be better you proceed with the cow milk you do have, than loose more time.  Because its great hurry, Red Alert.   She must have something into her.

Use full fat, 3 or even 4%.

Even if I would be much more happier if you found goats milk, sheeps milk, buffalo milk - or some kitte mother milk replacement...

I'm giving her the cow milk powder..I boil it N then give her..She seems to be liking it more than the yogurt..Everytime I have to boil the milk make new one..No diarrhea until now no vomiting N I don't not give her any food to eat..As I remember when I was giving her mimil she had vomited so I'm continuing with cow milk....Until I find something..U know it's difficult to find these things here..I don't say there is no goat or cow..But the place I live it's a bit different...One thing more when I boil the milk how to preserve it coz it's too hot over here N the milk curdle..It doesn't look good...I believe if she had cow milk she should have pooped..But still nothing...I really really hope to find something for her...It's really difficult to get things for pets over here...Even vets...There is an association also call paws..They take a hefty amount for transport N all...So it's really difficult for us...I really hope she will be fine..This kitten also owners separated her from her mother so I adopted her..I have in all 7 cats..2 recently died...

Im not sure what curdle means.  If it gets sour alike sour milk, as id did when we were kids,  such sour milk is fully eatable, and I suppose its ok for kittens too...  (yes, it was a way to preserve milk several days).  If it gets rotten, nay you cant use it no more...

Otherwise the old trick is to to put a wetted cloth over the milk.  When the cloth dry out, it gets colder inside...

You can add a couple three drops of food oil  in every meal.  It helps some with the consitpation.  Any food oil will do, but if you can find coldpressed organic style its healthiest and best.  Cocoa oil, olive oil, canola oil are my favorites, but as said almost any will do.

If you have liquid paraffine its very potent - vets use it.  The problem is to find it food grade.  I have found food grade liquid paraffine for caretaking of leather, and for wooden surfaces - two different brands, and both claimed they were as pure as the one made for veterinarians...

The milk becomes thicker like yogurt....She seems to know when the milk is good or not..If it's start to rot or whatever she does not drink it..Ya I think she is constipating...She doesn't look weak anything she plays with me...Most of the time she sleeps.

Where do you think?
Is it at all possible for you to order a milk replacement online and have it shipped to you?

Like this for example

As I understand it, you are describing it as the sour milk from my childhood.  It should be OK to eat!   Try yourself.    :)    But rottening milk isnt good at all.

At her age yuou could try with minced meat (meat in small bites).   Children food should be OK too, if its not with spices.   Especielly not garlic or onion.   Both these are common beginning foods for small kittens.

Is she taking anything at all, not vomiting from?     This milk I presume is OK?   If so, proceed with it, till she is stabilized.   Just add some oil, to help her poo going.

Can you buy from internet?  Powdered goats milk, or powdered  KMR (kitten mother milk replacement made by PetAg) are possible to buy online.

yes, flavorless pumpkin puree is also used, especielly with older kittens.     But I know a desperate forumite whom tried it with 2 weeks infant, no problems.   :)
