First of all I pray all goes well with you little girl. There are risks in letting her have a litter of pups but there are also risks with spaying and with c-sections. Ideally it would have been best if she has been spayed as soon she had gone out of heat. I don't know if you work or not but I can tell you that the mom will need a lot of loving care and attention before and after she has pups. She will need to be monitored very closely. It will be essential that you make sure she eats well, especially after she has her pups.
As far as canned food goes, I feed mine Pedigree Healthy Digestion and Pedigree Lamb and Rice Puppy food. The Healthy Digestion is great for adults and puppies. I do not recommend the whelping pudding prior to her having puppies.
Please keep us updated and please don't be afraid to ask questions. There is some very good information on YT in some of the older threads posted in the 'Breeding' section. Hopefully you have a good vet that is knowledgeable about small dogs.
