Call the vet and get the Mom and the pup in ASAP. This site gives good info on what to do and how. Good luck!!

First: Force feed with a syringe. Go right now to your pet store and get pupply milk replacement. Or better yet, if your mama will let you, milk her teats into a bowl. If you have any syringes (like from children's medicine) use it and froce the milk in. If he has not eaten in two days and doesn't eat VERY soon, he's not gonna make it!
Second: I hope this is an accident and you are not breeding. Because if you are consciously breeding, then shame on you, because you should be and have been seeing your Vet in a callaboration to make every effort to insure a healthy pregnancy and birth!!

Just bottle feed him like he was a baby. We had to do that with our boxer as her mother had dies when she was 3 days old. We took her to church and everything. Fed her exactly like she was a baby, ever 2 hours. She lived to be about 14 years old, very protective of everyone in the house, and only dies because she was so old, didn't want to leave the family, and she was suffering bad. She had gotten lame, deaf and blind so my parents finally took her to the vet to have put down.

you can get pet milk at the pet store warm it never give it cold it will cramp him use an eye droper to feed him as much as he will take you can also get the boddle at the pet store try that to jently pull on the boddle when its in his mouth to strinthen his little jaws and to pramote the sucking when you are done feeding him put him up on your sholder like you would a baby and rub his back up and doun and you should get a burp but if you dont it will be alright feed him every 2 hours till about 3 weeks then feed every4 till 6 weeks but try during this time to get him to suckle the mother becouse her milk is best mix the pet milk acording to the derections and congragulatens on your new arivel

I had a puppy like that. You have to feed him formula so go to the pet store and get some. You have to feed it with a bottle. Are you sure the baby won't or the mom won't let it? My mom dog wouldn't let it because she knew there was something wrong with it. Good luck.

He may be too weak to nurse. You'd better check with your vet, he might need to be tube fed. If done incorrectly, you'll push formula into the lungs instead of the stomach. If he's 2 days old and hasn't nursed much.... get him to the vet ASAP
