I'm definitely curious; did a little research myself (only on the internet
of course since dd is at work).

I did find a site for boxers, quite a bit larger animal than a Chihuahua.
It said 60mls per 500 grams, about 2.25 oz per pound, per day.  Isn't that
interesting?  Another site addressing GSD said 11 calories per CC.  Same
site said 1cc per oz of body weight, every 3 hours.  Another site said 1 oz
per 1/4# per 24 hours.

Also this
"When the bottle is held upside down the milk should drip out - NOT FLOW OUT
in a stream - pups that get milk in their lungs will get pneumonia and more
than likely die."  Interesting.
