if you think about it, dogs drink milk as puppies and it is soft on their stomachs so yes it's fine.
It most likely won't hurt them but it may give them diarrhea. Cow's milk is hard for dogs to digest. If you have to give a dog milk goat's milk or a milk re-placer is much easier for them to digest.
It should say on your puppy milk formula. Ideally it would be every 4 hours, but most puppy milk replacer has a table or a list on the back as far as how much to feed how often. For example, if you wanted to give it every 4 hours, you would give the puppy less milk than if you wanted to feed it every 8 hours. It also depends on how many ounces the puppy weights. Most vet clinics, pet stores, and feed stores should sell a good variety of puppy milk replacer. Wal-mart doesn't generally have a good variety. If your puppy milk doesn't have a table or some type of instructions on the back, I would recommend getting a different type. Each puppy milk is generally going to be different and possibly have different concentrations so there isn't a general answer.
No, regular milk can give puppies or kitten diarrhea. Phone your vet for a good formula or go onto: www.Google.com and type in puppy formula recipe.

My chihuahua just had one puppy?
This is called a singleton puppy. It is not unusual for a dog to give birth to one puppy, but it is uncommon. The average litter is about six puppies, but some dogs may have more or less.Singleton puppies lack the companionship of literates, so they often grow up confused about their position in the "pack", may be over-playful because of the lack of playmates it had as a puppy and may be a little snappy because it didn't have siblings to test its "strength" on (which is a perfectly normal thing for puppies to do).This behaviour is not the fault of the puppy. You can try to find a sibling for the singleton puppy by adopting a stray puppy.
How often should a mother dog be nursing four week old puppies as she isn't spending as much time in the whelping box and stands to nurse should I start them on kibble milk replacement mush?
Your question pertains to 'how to wean puppies'. "When you begin to wean the puppies do it very gradually so that their fragile digestive systems do not get upset. A sudden change will generally give the puppies diarrhea. You can ask your veterinarian what type of soft food will be best for your puppies. It is always best to choose a soft food that is made just for puppies. Puppy food has the extra nutrients and minerals that puppies need. Some breeders prefer regular brand name puppy foods and others prefer all natural puppy foods."
Will it benefit your 3 year old chihuahua to eat Purina CV with puppy chow mixed in for her ONLY diet and to start the puppies on the same thing when they go to solid food?
I think that puppy food wont benefit her because it is aimed at puppies. The nutrients will benefit puppies. You should give your puppies the puppy food and the dog the adult dog food. However, with most whole kibble dog foods, you dont need to give them extra tinned dog food

I'm not a dog expert but I don't think that giving young puppies water should be advised, let them drink from their mother, if you don't have a mother with the puppy give him milk, unpasteurised is probably best.
