I'm no longer breeding, but this happened to my Ellie when her puppies were only a week old. I found that if I put camphophenic (spelling) on them, a real thin layer, then cold cabbage leaves wrapped snug around her, it helped dry up the milk. Be sure not to put too much campho on them because it could cause some irritation. We also took food away for 24 hours. Then we gave her 1/4 cup of food, the next day 1/2, then back up to 1 cup the 4th day. This worked really well for us. Then I got her spayed after the puppies left. Everything's great now. I hope this helps.
