Homogenized milk is not good for dogs and I do not recommend it. Most dogs have a hard time digesting it and it can cause diarrhea. I recommend a calcium supplement like Pet-cal. Since you are inexperienced with caring for a nursing momma and her pups I think it would be a good idea for you to call you cousin vet. There is so many things that can go wrong. You need to monitor the mother closely and make sure she does not start running a high temperature and you need to watch her teats in case they start getting hard and swollen. If that happens then she will need to go to the vet immediately.
