Answers:

Probably. It might have some real behavior issues though. Pups need to be with Mom and littermates for at least 8 weeks.

Possibly, but highly unlikely.

I'm not sure, but I think breeders sell their puppies when they're 8 weeks old. I would say no, don't take it away from it's mother until after 8 weeks. You can also go to the vet or to the library and look for books and information on how to be a mother to the pup. Feeding it certain formula, how to make it go to the bathroom, etc. Play mom! Make sure you have the time to do it though.

Not a good thing but if it has to be that way you can hand feed it with a bottle.Contact the vet's office and just ask over the phone.You should be o.k

Yes, if you get the right supplementation to provide the nutrients missing from the milk. The problem though, is there is a lot of socialization that the puppy learns from mom between 1 month and 8-10 weeks of age.

If you are considering taking a puppy from it's mom this early, DON"T.

If it is out of necessity, the puppy can survive, just talk to the vet to make sure that it's nutritional needs are being met.

I would also find someone with another liter of puppies and let the puppy spend a lot of time with that litter to learn proper social conduct. It can be very beneficial.

If you have a one month old puppy that has lost its mother for some reason that can't be corrected, please take it to a vet immediately. They can help you with appropriate training and tools to enable the puppy to survive. If the mother is accessible, please get the puppy back to the mother - that is it's best opportunity to survive.
