Congratulations! I'm sorry to hear about the 2 that died and the little one clinging on to life..
Sometimes it just happens that way. If the vet knows it won't last...does the vet know what is wrong with the puppy? If it is cold you could warm it up and put it on mom. Does it have a cleft palate? Is it a failure to thrive? There are alot of things to consider.
Put the puppy on a heating pad, if you do not have one wrap in warm towels out of the dryer or you can put the puppy in your shirt and use your own body heat. Do not try to feed a cold puppy. Rub some karo syrup or nutri-drops inside the puppy's mouth. When the puppy is warm see if it will suck/swallow. Try to hold puppy up to mom's teats, express milk into puppy mouth. If it will not latch, hand feed. If you have pet formula, use it. If not you can make a supplemental formula using canned milk (goat or cow), egg, karo syrup (there are recipes on a gsd site). If all fails...do not beat yourself up. This happens sometimes. It is survival of the fittest or it was too far gone. Hope this helps.
I'm so sorry. I have two German Shephards. My deepest sympathy for the little one.
My male German Shephard was one pup of a litter of 11. Only one was a female.
You could try a heating pad and feeding it with an eyedropper. I don't know what new born puppies drink. Call your vet and see if this is an option.
Im sorry about the 2 you lost already!
But all you can do for the runt is rush to the pet store and get some replacement milk, make sure the milk contain colostrum!
get some warm blankets and rub them on the momma dog and just watch over the little one every 10 minutes.

I hope this helps I breed my dogs only once in their life time but when I bred one of my yorkies, she lost 1 of her pups and pushed one away, the runt orphaned pup survived, but its gonna take allot.
I will pray for you and the puppies!
I'm not sure what the question is here.
