On my daily walk, this little friend was laying on his dead mother (killed by a car, it was awful doggirl-cry )

It was able to walk a bit around when I came back with a box, it is Sunday tomorrow so all vets or refuges are closed. Any tips? I gave a little bit of water next to it.

It's a combination of the nutritional profile and lactase. Cow milk in particular is really bad for young wildlife because it risks diarrhoea as much as it does protein deficiency. Goat milk is better tolerated by a lot of species but puppy milk replacement is the only formulation I know of that's generally safe for such a vulnerable age.
