Wow, thank you for the all the responses. Yes, they are only 9 days old. I do weigh them every morning and every night. As of right now, they are gaining weight. It just seems that Lola is getting less interested in them.
I do give Lola calcium pills from the vet. I make sure she is fully fed and content.
This is her second litter and I am done! She is done! Lola is about 2.5 years old. Her first litter, she stopped nursing at 3 weeks. She had a litter of 3. Three weeks was not too bad, but I was home all day and night to suppliment the feedings. Now, I am working and do not know what I will do if this happens.
I can not express enough that I am terrified that she will just STOP!

Thank you to all of you who have responded to this thread. It sure does help knowing that there is help out there! So, THANKS in a BIG way!
