Hi, sorry to be chiming in so late, but I don't generally read this board. We're a haven home for an animal rescue group. We foster the babies who need to be bottled.
You can put the Karo syrup in the formula. A couple of drops is all she needs at this age. It'll keep her stools looser.
Rub her litte bottom with a washcloth until she poops. She'll yell, but kittens always yell when they are getting cleaned up.
You can bathe her in warm water with a drop of Dawn dish detergent. We just hold them so that they can't tuck their chins down and get their faces in the water, otherwise, just put a drop of detergent on them, scrub up, and rinse under the faucet. (Detergent gets the food out of their fur better than shampoo) They hate baths and will yell. Just get her wrapped and warm afterwards. (My kids will carry them around in their pockets to keep them warm.)
You can use a baby syringe if you think there is formula up her nose. They hate it and yell, but it works.
