A five week old puppy should be starting to transition to solid foods. You can mix in the puppy formula with some wet puppy food or puppy starter food to make a slurry that may be interesting and still help keep Rocko hydrated. If he won't eat at all, or seems otherwise ill (vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, etc) then seeking vet care ASAP is best as puppies can quickly dehydrate.
