Yeah, sometimes its not easy - if they do protest as they do. But still, it must be done. The kitten AND caretaker gets hang of it after some tries.
Be sure the fluid is body warm, not too cold, and God forbide, not too hot! Using a micro for heater, its easy to get it too hot.
Burp afterwards.
Its not difficult to manage a little kitten if you feed her this way. If you do it succesfully, the kitten wont die, and with any luck, will live nicely. Let it begin to eat at least a little, so it gets hang on it. After it we will teach you how much she needs of kitten mothermilk replacemnt or goats milk. Exactly. with help of a scale.
Does the momma still helps with washing and eliminating? If not, you must do it.

Its a myth a runt must die. If the caretaker is vigilant enough and fights hard enough, they do seldom die.
They die just if they dont get help...
Observe, the giving food and fluids with a needleless syringe or a dropper, its enough it can swallow. So even a kitten whom is a poor suckler, will manage here.
