You can try stimulating the puppy's instinct to nurse by gently stroking its mouth and face with your finger. If the puppy still won't feed, you can try using a syringe to express some milk and gently feed it to the puppy. It's important to seek advice from a veterinarian if the puppy continues to have difficulty feeding.

The pup may need to be tube-fed....your Vet can instruct you on what to feed, how to feed (so you don't endanger the pup) and how often to feed.
