Kitten hiccups and diarrhea?

Can a cat drink milk from a dog?
Yes. Based on my experience, kittens can and will nurse from a dog. Introduce the kitten slowly to the dog. Allow the dog to sniff and lick the kitten. Then, place the kitten on the breast of the nursing mother dog. I'm not sure if the dog's milk has all the nutrients required for the kitten to survive on this alone so I would use this method as a supplement. Purchase some kitten replacement milk and a pet feeding bottle from the pet store or vet's office and bottle feed as often as you can.

Cow's milk shouldn't really be given to kittens. Cats and kittens are lactose intolerant, which means that cannot digest it very well and can cause diarrhea.

If you wish to give your kitten some milk, most stores now stock specially formulated cat or kitten milk which has no lactose in and is safe to drink.

To live on, no. They need mother's milk or kitten milk substitute from the pet store. As a treat it's fine in small amounts. Too much can give them indigestion.
