7/8 week old kitten with diarrhea (anemic, low energy and won't eat. Asking for advice)

Hello,

my wife found this sweet little kitten a couple weeks ago. We've taken her to the vet, started deworming after we found a little diarrhea and everything seemed to go fine as the poop was getting better. The cat should be around 8 weeks old. Yesterday the diarrhea came back, more aggressivel so the went went on to deworm her again and send us hiome with supplements. Today the stool started having some blood in it and was even more liquidy, upon taking her back the vet did bloodwork and found out she is anemic to where she almost needs a transfusion. He gave her some IV for a couple hours and advised we keep her on a heating pad and try to offer food. She's been drinking a little but not eating, she's very lethargic and isnt moving much. I'm wondering if i should try to force feed her a bit of food and maybe sugar water to help her get some nutrients but any sort of food for the past two days just seemed to go right through her. If you have any other question please feel free to ask, i might have left something out as im very concerned and it's hard to organize my thoughts. Let me know if you advice to force feed or not or anything else we can do to help her out together with the medicatiopn she's been taking.

Medications :

-Pet-tinic 0.15 mls every 12hr

-Rebound 1.5 mls every 12hr

-Meteonizadole 0.10 ml every 12hr

-FortiFlora one packet in food or water every 24hr

-Marquis Paste 0.25ml tomorrow afternoon
