Thank you for rescuing that puppy. I would keep in touch with the vet. I don't know if you can save it or not. As I indicated in my first answer, puppies shouldn't be treated that way. It really upsets me the way so many people abuse dogs. I answer more dog questions on another site than here, and lately there has been a flood of questions from people that don't have a clue of the responsibilities of owning a dog. Suddenly they have a litter they don't know how to care for. Then caring people like you, try to do what they can. Often people that shouldn't be breeding dogs try to makeup for shirking their responsibilities by posting questions to the web.
You have an uphill fight. I don't know of any place of the web that has the info you need. You might check your library for a book. Even an old, poorly written one will be better than nothing.
We also have some vet techs here that give good answers to medical questions.
