I am so sorry your momma is sick. It sounds like she has a uterus infection. She may have had some retained afterbirth. I always monitor my new moms temperature the first week after they have pups. Once the temperature goes over 102.5 they need to see a vet. If caught early the female can be put on a antibiotic and most likely will be okay but if left untreated too long it can lead to more serious problems. It is also possible your female had a ruptured uterus which would also cause some serious problems. I pray your momma and babies will be okay. Please keep us posted.
