She can stand now but i'm worried she just started moving and couldnt stand up. Her mother did it too when she was a kitten, so did she pass it onto him? i dont know.

She always was the one who would hate it when he get near sometimes and she always goes far away from the other kittens.

Is there something wrong? could anybody help?

How old is the kitten? Although, if momma had it too, its probably genetic.

I presume YOU must help with the eating, a so called forcefeeding. Exaclty how may depend.
kmr or goats milk.

If the kitten has difficulties to eat, its probably very weak now. The difficulty to rise on feet and go may be simply exhaustion because of starvation...

You can begin with putting a sweet honey-water solution on its lips and gum. Gives some quick energy. After it it may be easier to get it to eat.

StefanZ StefanZ i think feeding is not the problem. She started sucking again and now she's starting to scrath her head at the same spot with legs and is making alot of noise.

Sarthur2 Sarthur2 the kitten still isnt okay she's constantly scratching her head and i think it might have a tumor in it's brain.

I'm not quite sure how old she is but i'd say like 5 or 6 weeks.

This could be anything. Head scratching does not necessarily mean a brain tumor just because the kitten is having issues. It more likely means fleas.

Can you see a vet?

The kitten may have an infection and need antibiotics, or it could be something viral.

She really needs to see a vet though.

Where are you located? You may need to surrender the kitten to a no kill shelter so it can get help.

Yes, what is your city and state?

We can look for a no-kill rescue that may be able to help.

I see that you are in a relatively small city about 100 miles south of Belgrade.

I see a cat shelter in Vojvodina, which is 240 km away.

I see now that your options are limited if you cannot afford a vet.

However, are you able to purchase antibiotics such as amoxicillin at a nearby pharmacy?
