My husky bit her puppy. How to care for an injured, orphaned pup?

Help! My husky bit her nearly 2 week old puppy, we took him to the vet and they gave him pain medication and antibiotics and said to bring him back tomorrow. We have removed him from his mother and are keeping an eye on her with the others but this injured puppy is still crying nonstop and he wont suck the bottle with the formula in :( what can I do please.

I hate to hear this happened. Here is a link about raising orphaned puppies which may help: https://www.petcoach.co/article/orphaned-puppies-how-to-raise-them/ You will need to feed the puppy the appropriate puppy formula (not cow or goat milk) as well as attend all it's needs (make sure it is using the bathroom, being kept warm...etc) unless the mother accepts it back. You may ask your veterinarian if re-introduction is possible or it it should stay separate. Also, not all dogs are good mothers. You may consider not breeding Misty in the future. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
