If the puppy is sick it is unable to compete with other puppies in the large litter and hence becomes too weak for nursing. This creates a cyclic effect; the weak puppies become increasingly weak because they eat less and if they eat less they become further weak and so on. Since weak puppies need assistance you must use the orphan formula for feeding them. It is quite likely that weak puppies will die if they are not treated immediately by your vet.
