Last week, I found a stray kitten (about 3 months old), with an old festering wound on her arm. We took her in, had the vet stitch her up, and the wound seems to be fine.

However, since then, she has had horrible diarrhea, she is emaciated and will not eat.

We have taken her to the vet 4 times so far, she has been wormed, and given anti-diarrheal medicine. She passed some dead worms, which makes me think worms are gone. But she still has diarrhea, and is very sluggish. Last night she passed something black, which may have been blood.

I have been force feeding her through a syringe (kitten chow, blended with water into a liquid).

Also, I live in South Korea, which doesn't have many options as far as cat food goes. I consider myself lucky that I was able to find some dry kitten chow.

I'm so worried about this poor baby. The vet doesn't seem to be much help. Can anyone offer me any suggestions?
