I wouldnt take any chances by allowing mom to feed anymore and hand feed the pups here on out. She may be okay to feed a little bit with calcium supplementation but you should supplement feed the pups regardless since she's already had a bout of hypocalcemia. I think either way your going to have to feed these babies yourself. If you dont have time then find someone who can.

I personally wouldnt allow her to breed again. I hope you dont take this the wrong way, but if you cant devote 100% of your time to the pups when they need you then you should consider not breeding anymore.
