sir plz tell me any good idea so he become strong and healthy all other things is good he is active and going with me daily for 2 km walk

Answer
Cows' milk is hard for dogs to digest.  You might try goats' if available.  Better yet would be unsalted chicken broth.  Put a little on his dry dog food and see if he eats it.  You may even have to let him go a few days without eating.  I have done that and it is very hard to do.  Dog food is the only practical way to give a dog the complete and balanced diet it needs.
