Ok, I was woke up at 3am to one of my 4 1/2 week old kittens crying extremely loud.
At first I thought she had gotten separated from her mommy, but when I turned on the light she was laying on her mommy crying so I thought maybe she was hungry ( the mommy cat don't feed them as much as she use to) So I went and got her a bowl of her wet kitten food and when I sit her in front of it she fell over and was crying extremely loud. I don't know what has happened, I can't see how she would have broken it do to nothing being around her and she is much to little to climb on things yet. Everyone was sleeping so I know she was not stepped on. Now she is looking life less. Could this be something else like a disease or something? I know she needs a vet but at 3am thats not an option right now.

Do try to find an ER vet. I am a novice breeder, and I've followed all the rules regarding conscientious breeding, but have had two stillbirths, one death a few days after birth, one death at weaning time, and one death at six months old. Kitten deaths are not that uncommon, nor are they always preventable. "Falling over" and "looking lifeless" are, obviously, not good signs. Maybe an ER vet can help. If you wait until tomorrow morning, it may be too late. It's your call. I understand your pain and frustration, and am purring that kitty will be okay.

The vet is always an option, even in the middle of the night. There should be a hour emergency vet clinic available in your area. Check the phone book or Google it. Is she going potty ok? She may be constipated or something else easily cured but still something the vet needs to handle. Tiny kittens can go downhill fast. It could be just about anything and even if any one of us had an idea of what it was, we could not help fix it without a vet. Good luck with the poor baby.
