Hi there,
if you read the backstory, TW death,
🩷back story🩷 : I have a feral mom named Mavis she’s extremely aggressive and just super unhappy inside all together, she’s lived in my neighborhood for about 5 almost 6 years and has had about 12 litters in her short life. I finally trapped her and she’s had her last and final litter. She had three beautiful babies, Soup, Puddles and little Toast. I watched on a nanny camera in her den while she had them on the early morning of April 6th 2023 soup first, then puddles and then very clearly a runt toast. Later on April 9th 2023, Easter morning. I weighed the babies as per usual and soup had rapidly lost weight overnight and he was cold to the touch, I quickly tried warming him up and attempting bottle feeding which he didn’t want to eat. I could just feel that he was dying. Before he passed, he had this awful yellow goo coming from his butt (like literally yellow gel poop) and he had discharge coming from his nose. I didn’t take him to our er vet because I knew he wasn’t gonna make it despite their efforts( I called and asked the doc and she agreed with me.) I didn’t want soup to die around strangers, loud noises, and an all around Scarry environment, I know he couldn’t hear or see but I still didn’t feel right doing so. So I did the only thing I could do, sit with him and wait. I had him outside just brushing him with a tooth brush until he took his last few breaths. Losing him broke my heart and so after we chose a burial spot, I went back into Mavis’s room and scooped up the kittens with an elaborate device I made the night prior and the little girl was great super chunk and super toasty warm, and then came toast he had lost weight too. I was extremely paranoid so I got the heating pad and milk ready for him.I’ve bottle fed him up to this point now being (April 24th 2023) he got to the point about 3-4 days ago he was gaining all on his own from mom, then he rapidly lost weight AGAIN. At this point his eyes are open and he screams out every time he’s handled, trying with the same formula he used to enjoy he refused the bottle I was wondering to myself if because now he can see he doesn’t want the unnatural way anymore, but a quick switch to KMR and he’s back on the bottle (still with mom though)
Question/problem:Toast drops weight and gains some back over and over. I looked Up the kitten lady and saw a guide to how they grow she said@ 2 weeks old they should be anywhere from 250 grams to 350 grams today pudds was 313 right around where shes supposed to be, toast however is only 207 and dropping over and over than gaining a little over that.. he is now so much smaller it’s like his bones don’t match his body because of how much weight he’s missing. I’m wondering if you guys think I should see a vet about him, he’s never cold, is on a regular eating schedule of every 3 hrs as directed. Sometimes it takes awhile for him to want to eat but he’s been doing a little of it anyway. I’m kind of at a loss yk I’ve only done this one time before Is there something to put in the milk? Does this sound like disease? Other than his weight problem he seems ok, aside for some pretty heavy breathing in my opinion that I don’t really see out of puddles, or am I just crazy and is this completely normal? I’m worried about him 
I’m thinking vet but I also want to know if anyone else has gone through this or know maybe what soup had.
pics of him and sissy puddles is what I’m told is tortishell but I just call her a calico
and the yellow/orange is toast

currently calling all around to find someone who can see him asap. He’s three weeks old tomorrow and still so much smaller than puddles we were 204g last night and dropped to 195g back up to 202g now though, he’s dones this ever since he first started on the bottle. Drop gain maintain gain gain drop maintain while reaching each milestone. 100g,120g,130g,140g, etc etc
everything is just packed for some reason. 
so I picked up this nutri-vet. Is it any good? Please tell me it’s any good 
can it still be used with pedialyte ? I’m on the way to get it
