It is possible but with the correct diet and a heavy demand on her from the pups, she should have enough milk. Make sure she is on a good name Puppy Food, not some generic cheap food. Make sure the pups nurse all they want off of her. If she is not cooperating then sit with her and make her lay on her side while the pups nurse. If you think she is not healthy, then take her to your Veterinarian for a check up. Make sure she gets lots of the Puppy Food and is healthy looking.

What do you do if your mom dog is not producing enough milk?
If the mother dog is not producing enough milk then the puppies need to be bottle fed. You can buy canned "Bitch's Milk" from most grocery stores and if not you can find it in your local Farm Supply/Feed Store(s) and/or Pet Store(s). As a last resort if you cannot find the the canned milk at those places call your Veterinarian and ask if they have/sell it. As a last resort you can order it through an online store.
Do puppies get milk from there mother?
It depends on whether that mother is pregnant. Usually if the female dog is not pregnant, then there is not much of a chance of it being able to get milk from it, with the fact that the dog would not have produced any milk, but on the other hand it will still be able to do other things to care for it.
Any way to increase a females milk supply after her pups are born my dog doesn't seem to be producing enough milk for her pups what can I do?
You should contact your vet to see if he can administer something to the mother. Or you may just have to feed them your self. If so, you will need to get a substitution mother's milk from your vet or pet store. They have it at Walmart as well. Feed the pups every two hours or as recommended by your vet.
