My puppies' mother decided to quit feeding them and one is ok with bottle feeding and the other has no strength to suck on the bottle. I have tried a syringe but the puppy is having trouble breathing. The milk comes out the nose!!!!

This puppy needs to be examined by a veterinarian. Sick puppy can fade and die very quickly. If the milk is coming out the nose the puppy needs to be evaluated for a cleft palate. You could also be feeding too much. Also if the puppy is unable to suckle syringe feeding is not the answer. Your veterinarian can instruct you how to tube feed this puppy.
The respiratory issues may be an aspiration pneumonia that needs to be diagnosed and treated.
