New kitten won't eat

We just adopted a sweet little 9 week old kitten. She's just a sweet little thing but I just can't get her to eat anything. We've tried the kitten food that was sent home with us and I've tried various dry kitten foods plus canned. The little one just doesn't want to eat. At first I thought it was because she wasn't completely weaned. I've been syringe feeding her but I just can't get enough food into her and she keeps losing weight. She has a habit of throwing up every night and I'm sure it's because her stomach is empty.
Any thoughts as to what I can try?

She really needs to go to the vet. They can give her liquids and an appetite stimulant and try to figure out the problem. Kittens can go downhill FAST. If you can't take her tonight, please take her tomorrow.
