I am sorry to hear Momo isn't feeling well. At her age she can be fed kitten food, she no longer needs to be on milk replacer. If she is still weak and not wanting to eat, I would suspect something else going on. She could have intestinal parasites, a bacterial infection, or a viral infection. I recommend taking her to a vet for an exam and to check her stool for microscopic parasites. Depending on what they find, they can treat her accordingly. She may need aggressive therapy if she is dehydrated. Good luck and kisses to Momo!
