Why is my 2-week-old kitten weak, not eating, and barely moving?

Question

Hello. I have found 2 small kittens about 2 weeks old. I have experience with growing kittens up and I feed them with a small bottle I use half milk and the other half is warm water with alittle bit of sugar. lately I've read online that putting a little bit of yolk in it is good for them too. now for my real problem one of the kittens is very very weak he refuses to eat he barely make a sound can barely move or hold his head. and I dont know what to do taking him to a vet is not an option. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | 8 months and 20 days old

These kittens need a kitten formula replacer to feed them. If you are giving them cow's milk this will be why one of the kittens is very weak. It is incompatible to their system, and he will not be getting the nutrients he needs to survive. I'm not sure why taking him to a vet is not an option, but he truly needs one. It's extremely serious that he is refusing to eat, barely makes a sound, and can barely move. His symptoms are a medical emergency, and if you want him to have any chance of living, he needs veterinary attention now. There is nothing you can do for him at home. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
