Can my dog properly raise my abandoned kittens with her milk?

Question

My kittens were abandoned by the mother cat to early for them to adopt normal food (one seems to be on the verge of dying), and they refuse to eat/drink anything else for the most part. I recently discovered that they adopted the dog as mother. They definitely are sucking from the dog, but it doesn't seem that they are getting milk from the nipples, how can I be certain that they are getting milk?

Answer 1

Is the dog even lactating? Hmm..

If not, just get some kitty replacement formula and bottle at the pet store.

Answer 2

Dogs can and will take care of kittens so that is fine. If the problem procedes then take the kittens to the vet fast!!! Get some formula from the local pet store or even a close walmart. also get a few bottels to hand feed them with.

Answer 3

go talk about this to a vet or give them to the vet untill they r older
