I found an injured kitten 5 days ago and she hasn't eaten anything yet. We tried force feeding her cow milk. She hasn't pooped in 3 to 4 days. She threw up yellow liquid today.

She needs to see a vet for an exam. Her symptoms are not very specific for one disease or problem. If she is constipated the vet may need to give an enema or prescribe some other medications. DO NOT attempt to give an enema yourself as there are over the counter enemas that will kill a cat. Please get her to a vet for an exam. Kittens this small can get easily dehydrated which has likely already happened. That needs to be corrected with fluids. Giving fluids orally will not be enough. She may also have an impaction of parasites and the vet will need to deworm her. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
