This is an emergency. Himawari is obviously very ill. The signs of illness you are describing are very unspecific, so I cannot really tell what may be wrong with her. Please take Himawari to a veterinary doctor today for an exam. If she does not start to eat and maybe has parasites, she will die. She will also need to eat kitten milk, not cow milk. Please find a veterinarian and take her there today.
