orphaned ND/pymgy. need advice

I have a one week old orphaned ND/pygmy cross doeling. I looked up how much milk to give and how often. (at this age between 5-9 oz of milk every 3-4 hours). All I have to give her is raw cow's milk. Is this okay and does the amount still stay the same? Thanks!

Raw cow's milk is OK. Did she get any colostrum?

Great the same amount of cows milk as goats milk will be fine we have full size kids so the amounts we feed is a lot more. If she is happy with that amount you are doing fine.
