We had a neighbor stray cat that we started feeding a couple of months ago. One day last week or so her stomach was really bloated, then she didn't eat all her feed the next day and stayed away, a couple days later we found 2 kittens under a wood pile. After we found them she put her kittens in the wall of our garage so we put gloves on and moved them into a box with clothing with the mothers hair on the clothes. This was Sunday or Monday. She stayed there fine until today. We noticed she moved her kittens back under the pile. Using gloves we moved them back, the one I had was meowing like a normal kitten. The one my boyfriend had was a bit quiet but we didn't think there was anything wrong.
Later right before a storm was coming she tried moving her kittens back to the wood pile, again. My boyfriend found the one but the other I found a tad bit further away from under the pile, a small piece of wood was leaning on another piece and it was on top of it but the mother could have put it there as it was away from the other one and it was hard for us to find. We're not sure if got hit or stepped on. We put it back and noticed the mother ignoring it, and it wasn't meowing or responding like it was the day before and barely moved.
We didn't know what to do so we got kitten formula. When we came back to feed the kitten was by the mother's butt and being ignored it seemed. My boyfriend tried feeding it but seemed unresponsive. It didn't suckle but was licking some. Didn't meow. It was very limp and would fall over on its side. It wiggled some. It's tail would wag and back legs were more responsive, the front legs were responsive a bit but seemed to be having trouble, it had trouble holding its head up. My boyfriend rubbed it for a while and moved it around, the kitten did pee after feeding and mother helped clean up when we showed it to her, but over all she was ignoring it. He tried feeling the bones to see if they were broken or felt different from the other kitten and he didn't seem to find anything. He tried to get it to meow and it started responding a bit more to getting its ears touches and did start moving a bit more. We put it back with its mother in the box and the mother was licking it and responding to it.
I don't know what happened. This is the first time I've ever tried to care for a kitten. It's eyes are still closed and barely a week old. The other kitten is fine and they were cuddling the day before. I think the mother moved them because the one kitten was becoming sick but I don't know for sure. I don't know what to do besides try to feed it formula and try honey or sugar water to help stimulate it like I've read. I don't know if the vet is open tomorrow or if a vet could save it if it was stepped on or has a disease. Any help, please?

). I'm not sure where you're located - so don't know how cold it gets at night, but both members are so right when they talk about warmth & dehydration being a huge issue. It's as important - or even more so - than being hungry. If mom lets you - the Karo syrup advice is great.
