How do you make a runt kitten eat when he/she will not?

Well you could try slowly feeding it kitten formula. I don’t mean milk. Milk causes diarrhea. So never feed your kitten formula because diarrhea causes dehydration which can lead to deaths in kittens. I mean actual real kitten formula. Take a syringe or bottle and slowly feed the kitten. Feed it at a 45 degree angle or the same angle kittens feed from their mothers. Never feed it like a baby; otherwise, it will choke to death. Your kitten might have an internal disease. Some kittens are born with these. Some kittens are born and they lose the will to live and survive. I have had kittens before that were like this. All you can do for them is give them the best love and attention you can now. Another thing you can try is weaning the other kittens off of mommy’s milk and maybe even trying to get the skinny one to eat mushy dry food. That is dry kitten food mixed with either kitten formula or water NEVER milk. If you can call the vet and see if he/she has any more advice on what you should
