Hi there,
I'm not experienced in raising baby doves, I have only took care of a few grown ones.
Doves mainly eat seeds and other insects, but since this chick is only a scarce few days old, he/she would need to be fed a special formula for chicks. If you can't find specific formula for birds, you can try to mix some Cerelac (baby cereal) with warm water (do not use milk).

I'm sorry to hear the little dove didn't make it...:( You did your very best to try and save the chick.
Rest in peace, little one.
