Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am so sorry, but unless this puppy is seen by a veterinarian, it will die. Even if the intestines are placed back in the abdominal cavity, & the defect repaired, it does not have a great chance for survival, but only time will tell. I hope your mom can have the puppy seen very soon.
