I will answer more in one hour. During the time, please write more what is happening...
What EXACT kitten milk you do have got? Be careful with the feeding, tummy down, head up... if dropper, in the corner of the mouth, cautiously.

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.

I seen on facebook pet site this lil girl said her dog came running in the yard with the kitten in his mouth and the sac still around it..she opened his mouth and took him out...he dies have one lil tooth mark below his ear and I've been cleaning it...Should I put a little salve on it or will it hurt him?
I wish you luck with this little baby.
It may be best just to let it be! Cat moms teath arent sterile either... And they get small wounds sometimes if unlucky...
With an older kitten I would say wash off with warm saline water, but tis quite touchy to wet down small kittens, its so easy to chill them down!
It CAN be done if necessary, but you must make great pains to be sure it doenst get chilled, and warmed up afterwards.
You know of course you must keep the kitten warm - yes even warming up, with a heat pad or similiar??
What salve do you have?
The dog probably didnt wished to kill the kitten - otherwise it would just kill it. It is quite probable he even tried to save the kitten.
The brand made by PetAg, called for KMR is really good. If you can choose, take the in powder. Its more reliable than this ready made liquid KMR. But there are also other brands, more or less good.
Goat milk is useful too, especielly if you can get raw goat milk. But full fat bottled goat milk is OK too.
Try to avoid the brands made by Hartz - it works for some, but not for others- I suspect they have uneven quality control.
