Supplementing is a good idea. Allowing him on for a good 5 minutes prior to the others is a good idea. Remember your girl's milk only lets down every 2 hours......so you'll have to time it. Try rubbing some NutriDrops on the wee guy....strenghten him up so, he can fight off his siblings.
Your vet is correct. The other thing is it depends if they were all in the same horn....not much room for all of them to grow.....
I had a 2 oz guy in my last litter....it took him a week to catch up.....As long as your pup is steadily gaining....that's all that matters.
