She told me to stop giving them the milk and to stop feeding them raw chicken, so they just have whiskers kitten wet food, however the poorly kitten wont eat from my hand or from the plate, he's just not interested, he's laid next to the heater on his little blanket, he's gotten so lethargic and skinny in such a short space of time.
I was worried about him not eating so i mixed some kitten food with water and put some in a syringe, he had 5ml of it, so im going to do this maybe every 2 hours?
If you think i could be doing any thing else, or think i should be feeding him more/less oftern please let me know, it will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance 
Sarah

Aww bless the little kitten, make sure he drinks plenty of water to stop dehydrating, I have Nutri-cal for my puppies and my mate have the same for her cats, you can give it to kitten too,,it gives them a booste to their system and all the vitamins and suppliements in it. It can be given to convalesing cats etc etc. Ask your vet if you can give a little of this, it helps them to start eating again. Only a suggestion but I always keep a tube in my cupboard. I think you giving the kitten food with a little water is a good idea at least it is having something. If it is still the same or goes down hill again I would definatly see the vet again to see if there are other heath issues with him. xxx
