Safest you check up with your vet about possible antibiotica.    I suspect they have already  spread it among themselves, if it is contagious.

Be sure they have it warm enough, and dont get dehydrated.

Get home glucose sugar, brand name may be Dextrose or similiar.  - its useful in home made pedialyts and to perk up them in emergencies.

   If they dont need it, you can use it yourself when you exercise for example.

Good luck!

ps.  I presume they DO have a momma nursing?   That another reason  not to take aside.  A good nursing momma is after all the safest bet.

But if they are orphans and you handfeed them, it may be a point to separate them.  Its not the same big deal.

Just be sure the alone one is warm enough.   The others are probably in part warming themselves.     @pauli466
