I'm going to start by assuming that for some reason, all of the VERY GOOD ADVICE about getting this pup back with its mother can't be followed. If that is the case it's very sad, because as already pointed out this baby is in desparate need of its mother and siblings.

That being said, I have in the past successfully gotten very young mammals (a puppy once and a raccoon once) past this age. The post regarding supplies, foods, etc. is right on target. The only things that I would add would be (1) to get a syringe from the vet and use it to slowly squirt water, nutrical, etc. into the pup's mouth if they show any reluctance to lick or suckle food presented in other ways and (2) make sure someone's available to feed the puppy OFTEN. Every time it wakes up, it will almost certainly be hungry - as well as often after it is awake.
