Actually the puppies nursing will help her to contract.
Which is a good thing.
One great thing to have on hand is Calsorb, I use it only after she has delivered at least one pup. It will help to give her stronger contractions because they do tend to be weaker as time goes by.
They say the Calsorb doesnt taste good and some dogs will vomit after having it so alot of people mix it with nutrical or pudding etc.
I have not yet had one to vomit from it.

I'm glad you said something. I had read to let the puppies nurse ASAP to help with contractions. Thanks for the clarification!
