Have Candy examined by a veterinarian to diagnose illness. In the meantime, offer a good quality kitten food. You can warm it up or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate Candy's appetite. Discontinue offering milk as this may cause some gastrointestinal upset. If necessary, you can offer a kitten milk replacer such as KMR. This can be mixed into the food as well.

Hello, sorry to hear about your Kitten. Kitten formula is ok. Regular milk may be ok too temporarily, but ideally she should be switched to some form of kitten formula. You may offer wet kitten food if she is not taking dry food. Otherwise, if she is not improving then you should have her evaluated by your veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.
