its been a little over a week and she dont fill as full of milk as she should. She wont stop meowing and acting like she wants her teets rubbed. Is it possible that she can run out of milk???

Of course she wants her teets rubbed- they hurt!! Turn on the discovery channel and watch some programs on the miracle of birth, you may get some much needed insight!

Yes very possible you do know that you should be feeding the mother a high quality Kitten food so she dose not run out of milk right? That dose not mean going to the grocery store that means a trip to the pet store to get good food not grocery store crap!

NO. Her body makes the milk. just feed her a little water and normal food. The rubbing is that she thinks her kittens are milking.

It sounds like something is awfully wrong, get her checked otherwise kittens will die of malnutrition, you might have to bottle feed them.

sometimes they can run out of milk, especially if their protein level is not adequate. here are a few links that may assist you;
