I am glad momma and babies are doing well. How big is the mom and the pups? Are you giving the mom a calcium supplement? Just make sure the mom is eating well. She will need about 4 meals a day. Keep a close eye on the mommas teats. Sometime their teats will get hard and engorged and that can lead to mastitis (infection in the teats). Giving the mom some amoxicillin will fix that problem if it happens. You would need to take her to the vet for that.
The pups will need their tails docked and dewclaws removed when they are 3 to 4 days old.
The whelping pudding would be for the mom. If she is eating well and has plenty of milk then she would not need it.
