Sick nursing cat won't eat. Can I give her kitten milk replacer?

No, giving Muffin milk replacement will not turn that milk into her milk. It's concerning she is very skinny, and she needs a kitten formulated dry food to eat while nursing. The kitten food will give her added calories, protein, and calcium to support nursing her kittens, and I would run out to get that food now. Leave a bowl out of that for her to eat as needed. It's very important she is healthy to support nursing her kittens, so I would also recommend a visit with the vet in the next day or two for a health check. Be sure to bring her kittens with her. Best of luck.

Your kitten may be sick if she is refusing to nurse. You will need to supplement her feeding with kitten milk replacer which you can purchase at your local pet store. If, after attempting to bottle feed, she still refuses to eat, you will need to take her in to be examined by a veterinarian. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Make sure the kittens stay warm. If they are not nursing well or she is not producing milk then you can bottle feed them to help. She should be fed kitten food as it has more calories and nutrients to help her keep her weight up and produce enough milk

I would recommend feeding her a high calorie, soft mousse such as royal canin recovery which is highly palatable and energy dense and can be very useful to promote weight gain during recovery. Ensure she is up to date with deworming medications also

It sounds like Akira may be sick, and it is very serious when a cat won't eat. If they go long enough without eating (around 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment, so you want to avoid this. Have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning.

She does look underweight, when was the cat she is nursing from pregnant? the milk will be sufficient only if the cat she is nursing from gave birth in the past few weeks, if not then you must feed her with kitten milk replacer which you can get from the pet shop.

Poor girl. If she is not eating food, then this is an indicator that she may have an infection. At this age, most of the kittens should be almost weaned off of her, so it is ok if she is not producing a lot of milk. You can start giving them kitten formula mixed with soft canned food at this point and help them wean completely off of mom. Here is one product to consider--> https://www.chewy.com/royal-canin-mother-babycat-ultra/dp/33913?utm_id=27615258&msclkid=fc531f6858681e024d0142b0586ef3e3&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping-Product%20Targets-Consumables&utm_term=4584826050804684&utm_content=Royal%20Canin Then it's best to take Thankom to your local vet for a proper exam to determine why she is not eating well and get her treated based on the underlying problem. I do hope that your pet Thankom is able to get well soon! Best of luck and take care.
