Wow, 8, ok, my girl had 5 on sunday the 22nd and she is eating 5 small meals a day with whelping puding and some small snacks in between, also one and a half pill of a calcium supplement, I suggest increasing her meals to at lest 5 a day, also adding a calcium supplement to prevent eclamsia.
I do mix her kibble with a bit of goat's milk too.
other than that, if she does not have enogh milk start supplementing the babies by bottle feeding them sometimes during the day, so they don't drain her .. is cold in New Jersey too.. I have a small electric Heather in the whelping room and a heating pad under the whelping box..
