My 3-week-old kitten drank spoiled milk and is lethargic. What now?

It seems like my 3 weeks old kitten drank spoiled milk at night made in the morning, ( the milk in the bottle smelled soury. ) Now I don't feel her very energized as before and I'm getting worried. What can I do? I just fed her newly prepared milk just now and a very small amount of water.

Keep an eye on her for now, and if she is still lethargic in the morning, have her seen by a vet. If she starts vomiting, has diarrhea, or refuses to eat, have her seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.
