I just recently weighed her again, she is down to 2.6 OZ. She has puss coming out of her eye. I am force feeding, but she is sick, all day I tried to get her to eat from her mom, she refuses. I will be force feeding her again in 30 min, I am giving her rest. I am taking her to the vet tmw and if the vet agrees I will be putting her to sleep if the vet can't do anything to save her.

I am soooo sorry
The eye infection can be fixed easily but the not wanting to eat is not good. I hope that things work out for you and the kitten. Has the mom rejected it?

I will let you know when I see the vet tomorrow, I hope she can give me something to help with the infection she got going in her eye. The mom has not rejected her, in fact the mom gets mad at me everytime I take the kitten away from her. I am force feeding the baby every hour since she is not taking much fluids.

Eye infections alone aren't deadly to kittens. If she is able to start eating and gaining weight, the eye infection can be cleared with antibiotics. I have taken care of numerous kittens at that age with glued or pussy eyes. Every single one of them has pulled out of it and done well. Antibiotic eye ointment can be prescribed by your vet. The bigger challenge will be to help her gain weight and eat. Good luck with whatever happens, but don't give up on the account of just the eye infection.
