Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear about Midnight. Sounds like she may be the runt of the litter. Sometimes we do not know why some kittens stop thriving. We call it "fading kitten syndrome." The best you can do is continue to bottle or tube feed her and keep her hydrated. If you have a Vet that is open they may give her fluids under the skin or prescribe antibiotics if warranted. They can also check for constipation which can make babies feel very sick. I wish you the best!
