thanks...
btw, all the babies are nursing and two placentas were delivered. We still feel a lump that feels like a baby.

Cal Sorb and Oral Cal Plus are one in the same. The Cal Sorb should have an expiration date on it. Cal Sorb is yucky tasting.......and may cause her to throw up, you'll have to follow immediately with NutriCal. The Oral Call Plus they take readily (now you just keep it on hand for emergencies) Only administer if you see her showing signs of eclampsia. Does she have Calcium Tablets, or some sort of Calcium.....how much does mom weigh at this time.....PetCal Tabs are easiest to obtain, petsmart. She'll have to go on that.
If you think you have one more pup, go in and feather her, put a sterile glove on lubricate one finger with KY and gently insert your finger and kind of feather. It should get her down to business again. Now it's tricky because sometimes the flacid uterus can feel like a pup too. You can administer some of that CalSorb now and it can help her with that possible last pup. She maybe getting tired.
If you haven't all the placentas, I'd get her in for a Clean Out Shot (Oxcytocin). It'll clamp down on her uterus and remove any fetal membrane, also help increase her milk supply. Any retained placenta can cause an infection and you can lose your mom.
