Please, you HAVE to take her to a vet! You are risking her life if you don't get her digestion straightend out. Please borrow some money, or call around - many vets will make payment arrangements with you. You sound young, maybe your parents can lend you some money, can your bf pitch in a little? Your kitten surely needs a professional check-up, something which you can not get online.

The problem is that you have taken her too early from her mother. Yes, it would be much better if she could go on nursing for as long as she and the mother want to. Mother milk is the best for kittens, for their immediate health, development and strength. If you could bring her back to the mother and let her nurse for another month or even a little longer, that would be the perfect solution. You can always take her back later.

When you took her form her mother she obviously went through a sudden change in diet, and that is something kittens have trouble with. Because of that she got the diarrhea, obviously she could not digest the food you gave her properly. Again, a vet will be able to advice you which diet to feed her, based on her health status, weight, etc.

And please, do NOT give her OTC wormers! They are not only useless in many cases, they can be downright dangerous! Do NOT give her any medication without the advice of a qualified vet! It is really dangerous, ESPECIALLY in a young and ill kitten.

Borrow some money, sell something, talk to a vet about delayed payments ... DO something!
