You can also make her a shirt out of an old tee shirt, cut 4 leg holes and tie it up over the back..that way she can have her babies but not nurse them.
She had a large litter and IF you were breeding again..you would need to suppliment pups from the start to prevent it. If you fill the pups up a few times a day, they won't drain mom.
