Right off the top, keeping them warm, a mimimum of 90 degrees for the first week, is essential when raising puppies, especially ones without a mother. A chilled puppy cannot digest food and it will sour in her stomach. Also, I would hope you are using a puppy formula and not regular cows milk as puppies do not digest that well AND it doesn't provide the proper nutrition for baby puppies.
I agree with the previous poster, a call to your vet is the best bet!

Call a reliable different local vet for backup. She may need medical help and dehydration can kill a newborn puppy. Do not leave her alone and keep a close eye on her. Do not let the other puppy stress her out. From there, follow what the vet tells you to do. If the vet says you need to bring her in, waste no time getting her there. Puppies usually do not do this.
Hope this helps!
