The article below will tell you what to do if you use the link and scroll down to treatment..>>>http://www.showdogsupersite.com/kenlclub/breedvet/fading.html <<
* Warmth
* Energy (sugar)
* Water
If a puppy gets chilled it will die. If a puppy becomes hypoglycemic it will die. If a puppy becomes dehydrated it will die. Those are the parameters of fading puppies.
Puppies may die due to developmental problems in the uterus such as a malformed heart or other anomalies. These puppies we cannot help. We may be able to keep them going for a few days, but they will eventually die.
Puppies may die due to infections. Herpes virus is one such infection. We prevent this with proper management of the *****, the kennel and our show, training and social activities. Unbilical cord infection leading to septicemia is another source of infection for puppies. Proper treatment of the cord at birth, coupled with good sanitation -- keeping the *****, the box and the puppies scrupulously clean -- will prevent this problem.
The greatest infectious risk to the puppies comes from an E. coli infection in the vagina of the *****. We're assuming that an E. coli infection in the uterus will result in no puppies. However, if E. coli is found with a high vaginal culture, the ***** must be treated before breeding, and again just before whelping even if the infection is only in the vagina. In addition, puppies born to a ***** with a positive E. coli culture must be treated for 5 days after they are born with cephalexin pediatric suspension beginning within a couple of hours of birth. Puppies not treated in this way will often begin to die from about two to four days after birth. If antibiotics are not begun until after puppies begin to die, typically half to all of the litter will die before the drug has a chance to become effective in the remaining puppies.
Puppies must get their colostrum from the ***** within their first 12 hours of life. If necessary, colostrum should be expressed from the *****'s breasts and fed by dropper to each puppy to ensure this. . It is only produced by the dam for a short time after she whelps, and it can only be passed through the puppies intestinal mucosa in the active form for the first few hours of life. If a puppy doesn't get colostrum, it will be much more susceptible to infections.<<<<

Take pup, mom and any sibs to vet asap. Once they begin to go down they will do so very quickly. Also if there is a genetic problem with one pup it is very possible there will be others with the same prob. The dog breeder was right on all counts, however, if you do not have his or her experience don't try to treat this at home. Vet asap!
Many blessings.

How many was in the litter? And make sure he isn't getting pushed out of the way and not being allowed to nurse. I agree, take the mother and pups to the vet. There may be a problem with her milk or it could just be something with that puppy.

Get it to a vet and quick. There could be alot of reasons for this and some of them can be cheap. But by trying to help the pup yourself you may cause more harm.

newborn pups fail quickly if they dont get enough to eat, get too cold or hot, inhale fluids during birth, have a congenital defect ect ect
By the sound of it only a vet has a prayer of saving it

your vet has an emergency number.If you can't find it call the office and get the number off the answering machines recorded message.
If your vet does'nt call back within the hour then find an emergency pet hospital in the yellow pages and get the pup there immediately.
