There is only one pup to suckle her, and as you are seperating them as well, she may not be getting enough stimulation to keep the milk flowing. As already said the pup needs feeding every 1-2 hrs, day and night. Weighing him regularly will show if he is gaining any milk from the mum, if not, hand feeding is essential if he is to stand a chance.
