I hope the momma and puppies do well. The best way to prevent eclampsia is to always make sure the momma is eating plenty of food. Missing a meal is very hard on nursing mommas. Next time you have a litter be sure to order the Doc Roy's Healthy Bones; they are very flavorful and all my females like them. Also, order the calcium supplement Mardlin mentioned.

Even if you do not let the pups nurse you still need to monitor momma closely because she is still producing milk. She can still get eclampsia and long as she is producing milk so make sure she is eating well. Also you do not want her get mastitis or engorged teats from the pups not nursing so you will need to monitor that.
