Poultry Spice is a good idea or Lifeguard in her water. A fishy cat/kitten food is something I have seen regularly recommended on here as well. :)

Anything high in protein helps, mine love maggots that I have left over from fishing  :)

We have had some moulting recently Poultry spice and cod liver oil helped also the dried mealy worms give them a boost. They will soon get the feathers back, they do choose a silly time to moult though.
