Hello. I am sorry that Binx isn't feeling well. It sounds like Binx is very sick. If she isn't wanting to eat or drink then she could have a retained baby inside that is rotting and making her sick. That would be the biggest concern, and is fatal if untreated. The other kittens dying could also mean that she has a problem with her milk, or a virus, and this could be making Binx sick as well. I would strongly recommend taking Binx and the two survivors to the vet as soon as possible to be assessed. Good luck with Binx.

I'm sorry Binx isn't feeling well. I recommend calling other clinics to see if they can get you in today so you can get Binx feeling better soon. He may need medication to stop the vomiting and fluids to rehydrate him. Kisses to Binx!
