Why is my kitten weak, losing hair, and sick after drinking cow milk?

Question

I got a kitten recently from my parking. She was quite healthy and happy. But now she's very weak and too much of hair loss. She wants to vomit but she isn't vomiting. Her nose is dry as well. We feed her cow's milk and cows meat. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed

First of all you need to stop the cow milk, i recommend switching her to ready made kitten dry food. It sounds as she is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
