My dad used to give a sick dog eggs. The protein is good for them and helps give them energy. Milk is good too. Preferably whole milk

But be sure to COOK the egg, giving raw eggs to dogs leads to vitamin deficiency as raw albumin binds to a vitamin and prevents it being absorbed.

The white gums sound like this dog is severely anaemic. Giving some minced red meat should give him some extra iron.
Good for you two that you are taking him to a vet, he is lucky you found him.

Thank you for your information, the dog turns out to be a full blooded great dane and was severly infected with hook worms and has already started gaining weight and has a much happier disposition.
