Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tiara. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian for fecal testing. Intestinal infections, especially parasites, are common in young puppies. If this is the case, she will need specific medication. I do not recommend feeding milk as this can cause gastrointestinal upset in dogs. Puppy formula will be easier on her stomach. Finally, offering puppy food will provide her better nutrition. I hope this information helps!
