Answer
Do you not have the mother??

Do not give this puppy anything but milk replacement.  If she is not able to nurse from a mother or drink from the bottle with the replacement then she will not make it.

Your vet can try to tube feed but I would not recomend that you try-you may asperate that puppy.
If they all are struggling then they may have been premature.

I wish I could be more help but there are times when you cannot help them.  Your vet is the best option.  If they can't then you will probably lose the litter.  They need a mother to nurse on.  Maybe your vet will know of a bitch with a litter that will let them nurse.
