Poor Mojo! He could be crying because he is hungry or cold, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I can say that newborn puppies are extremely fragile, and whenever there is problems with them, they have to see a vet immediately in order for them to have the best chance of survival. I would take Mojo into a vet right away for medical treatment.
