Hi, I have four weeks kitten named Paris. I hand feed him since he was one week old and is doing okay although his size is smaller than other kittens whom has their mother to feed them. But, starting yesterday he doesn't want to eat. When he reach 4 weeks old, I started to mix dry kitten food with milk and feed him. He eats the food but the next day, he suddenly refuses to eat. I try changing to his formula milk and he refuses to drink that also. Usually, he will enthusiastically drinks about 5 to 6ml in every 2 hours but now it is hard to feed him even 1ml.
It is not like he has no appetite, he seem so keen on sucking my finger when it is time for him to eat, but when I put the syringe in his mouth he started to move away from it.
I am really worried. He is all skin and bone now. I force feed him but he doesn't swallow the milk so I feed the kitten food that has been mixed with milk. He eat it but seems so reluctant. I cannot afford the vet so I want to ask your oppinion what should I do and what actually happen to my kitten? Help me please, I can't imagine myself losing him.
