Default Kitten drinking Puppy Milk?

At the yahoo home page there is a story about a panther newborn nursing from
a dog because her mother rejected her.

I was thinking, these are two different species, how will this affect her?

Is there a big difference nutritionally between cat and dog milk?

I'm not sure.
I will ask my neighbor tomorrow, because she is a vet & should know.
Interesting thought though. &, Very thought provoking isn't it?

Weird. That's a good question. I've noticed that there are separate
KMR formulas
for dogs and cats.

I don't know for sure - I've seen animals nursing other species on Animal
Planet. Off the top of my head though would be to question if there were
enough taurine in a dog's milk.
