I am raising an 8 week old orphan , so I know how much work it takes to take care of a young puppy, puppies should stay with their mom's until 12 weeks,with that said, if he was mine this is what I would do.. go to the pet store and get Nutrical Puppy, it has more calories and is a lot better that just the karo syrop. give one pea size drop to the pup every 3 hours. Go to the store and buy a few cans of Goat's milk, is what we breeders use to wean puppies, a HIGH quality soft puppy food and use the kibble the puppy should be eating, mix it and make a Gruel type food and offer this to the puppy at least 5 times a day, I feed my puppy, breakfast, snack lunch, dinner and snack before bed and make sure that right before you go to bed at night he gets a last dose of nutrical puppy, this will ensure his sugar level will stay put thru the night, my pup still gets up at 3 am to pee, I have a wee wee pad next to his pen in my bedroom and I just put him there he does his business and back to the pen and he sleeps until 6 or 7 am. if you need more help don't hesitate to pm me.
looking forward to hear the pup is doing better..
hugs,
