Milk will likely aggravate whatever gastrointestinal condition your dog is suffering from. You should feed your dog bland food such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the problem or if your dog deteriorates or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
