If they are not taking a bottle. You need to switch to a small tube and syringe. Measure it about to the top of the ribs. Insert the tube and slide it down the throat and inject small amounts at a time. A vet should be able to assist on the correct amount to inject for a puppy. I had to do this with my bulldog pups.

Switch to a syringe to force some milk into him, the mother might not be feeding him because of illness. Mother's will neglect them if she senses that they are ill. If she is a first time mother, she might just be lacking experience. You need to make the puppy drink the milk though, and I know it sounds mean to force feed, but at this point in time, it's the only way. Hope this helps, good luck to you.
