    I am sorry your post went unanswered for so long...

    If you can be more specific about which area of Georgia, a member may be close by to assist.

    Water is most important... asking the pharmacy for an oral syringe (1ml but no bigger than 3ml) to help with feeding would be good. At 6 weeks they should still be getting formula, which is Esbilac Puppy Formula (the powdered version). They can also have healthy veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, avocado (no skin or pits), green beans, etc. You may be able to purchase some rodent block like Mazuri or Oxbow at a store that sells pet food. DO NOT get the stuff with nuts and seeds. DO NOT feed this little guy nuts and seeds... he'll like them but they are not nutritional, it is like feeding a toddler cotton candy for dinner.
