ManekiNeko   Jun 1st 2009 at 12:03PM Hi, Kiranseh -- I've heard stories of women who have begun to lactate when they adopt an orphaned infant; it's usually explained by a surge in hormone levels inspired by the needy baby. I'm not a vet, so I won't presume to say that's what's happening with Lucky, but it seems possible. I did find this similar explanation online: "False pregnancy is a condition in which a female exhibits behavior that resembles pregnancy. This is caused by the influence of hormones produced by the ovaries... and the mammary glands may actually produce milk. All this is fairly common in dogs and cats. Both dogs and cats have fairly high levels of progesterone for a couple of months after heat whether they get pregnant or not and if the progesterone level is high enough, it will stimulate uterine enlargement, mammary enlargement and production etc. " But hey, how lucky can Lucky be?! This is an amazing blessing! :-)

ManekiNeko   Jun 1st 2009 at 4:57PM I wonder, though, can the kittens get proper nutrition & antibodies from the dog's milk? Or would it be better to continue with the cat-milk formula? Dr. Jonathan, Lynie, June, Ashleywong -- anyone out there with some insight on this?

JacqYangz   Jun 3rd 2009 at 4:02PM Hi there,your dog is very kind..BTW,are you really sure your dog has milk? Sometimes they just drink "empty milk",I mean the dog might be no milk but the kitten just keep on searching..do they look hungry after that?
