Answer 1

You should definately switch to a puppy formula such as Esbilac. Keep him on this until 8 weeks old. You can also start introducing a high quality puppy food as well. But you'll need to start by making it into a gruel. This can be done by adding puppy formula or water, let is soak for a few hours and then mash it up. Start with a thick oatmeal consistency and gradually over the course of a few weeks decrease the amount of liquid used.

Here is some information on finding a high quality food for your dog.

Nothing you find at a grocery store is going to be a good food. High quality foods can be found at large pet store chains, or online. A couple of foods I like are Nutro Natural, Innova, and Cannidae.

There are other high quality dog foods. Here's how to spot them:

A high quality food will have little or no fillers such as corn, wheat or soy. These aren't very digestable for dogs, and are common food related allergens. Since you were seeing corn meal in the first few ingredients, those are not high quality foods. Foods list ingredients by content, with the ingredient it contains most of at the top.

A high quality food will not contain BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin, these are all chemical preservatives that have been linked to cancer.

A high quality food will not contain by-products of any kind. Meat meals are ok as long as the source of the meat is listed, such as Chicken Meal.

A high quality diet should have meat as at least the first ingredient., and be made from human grade ingredients. Foods that don't use human grade ingredients often get their ingredients from less than desirable sources, such as meat from animals that were diseased, or euthanized.

There is another diet option other than dog food. Some people choose to feed a raw diet. This involves feeding the dog raw meaty bones and organ meat. However it is not as simple as throwing a couple chicken bones in a bowl everyday. If you wish to feed this type of diet, do lots and lots of research first. Switching to this diet without knowing what your doing can lead to nutritional problems for your dog. I'll give you some links as a starting point in research if you are interested in this type of diet.

Answer 2

Go and get puppy replacement milk from a pet store.
The buffalo milk is causing the watery poo
Warm the milk to body temperature and feed the puppy every 4 hours. At 4 weeks, you don't need to do it through the night.
Water down some puppy kibble for him too.
Good luck
