When Sammie had her c-section/spay, I was worried that she wouldn't get milk either. The vet gave her 2 shots of oxy to help bring it in. She didn't look full, but the babies thrived as they were getting some milk. I couldn't get any out of her either, but I don't think that I was doing it correctly. My vet explained as long as they continued to suckle, the milk would come. If the babies are not crying while they are with her, then I wouldn't worry too much. Continue to weigh them twice a day and make sure that they are gaining. You can request another shot of oxy if you desire, but again, I think it's on how they are gaining and acting.

As far as her not wanting to be with them, she may just be a little slow. I know that mine usually want a little break, while others want to be in there all the time and will even skip a potty break if needed. I think it all depends on the mother. Just make sure that the babies are warm while she's not in there. If they continue to cry, then just force the mother to be in there. Eventually her motherly instincts should kick in.
