Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 lbs

Our vet has advised us to feed our 1 month old pup boiled egg with yolk and cerelac but we are having second thoughts over it, what do you think? Is it ok to feed him egg and if not what are the alternates?

No, I don't recommend that at all. A one month of age, he is old enough to be weaned onto puppy food. To help Rudy wean and to get used to dry food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with puppy formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until he is eating the dry puppy food only.
