The littlest of my last litter (hand fed) did not seem like he was going to make it. The vet told me he might not. But I was determined. I fed him with a dropper to make sure he was getting nutrition. Eventually, he learned to latch on and drank from a bottle like the others. Even though yours is older, you can still use the dropper. Then you know nutrition is getting in. With everything else looking good, adequate nutrition is the most important thing I can think of for you to control. Do you have a little Nutricall (drops or the puppy gel)? I would rub a tiny bit of that on his gums a couple times a day (ask vet if they approve). I did that with my tiny one. I just did not want him to deal with hypoglycemia -- it becomes a catch22 as the less they eat, the weaker they become and the less they feel like eating. Keeping the blood sugar up with the Nutrical helps a lot.

Keeping him warm is also important. Don't let that body temp dip. A heating pad or Cuddle Cat (stuffed toy with a heating bag and heart that beats) could help if they are not warm enough.

Edit: Just realized I did not say what to feed in the dropper! You still want him to nurse when posible, but to augment, use some Goat's Milk mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with water. Walmart has been carrying goat's milk here. You don't want to take over the feedings, just try to give an extra one here and there to make sure he is getting something in. If he won't nurse at all, then you may have ot give complete feedings.
