You could make her some whelping pudding and that might help bring her milk in better. The pups should have full bellies and they should be nursing every couple of hours.
If they are nursing and not getting enough milk then they will slowly get weaker so I pray they are getting enough. How Long After the Baby Puppies Are Born Does the Mother Give Milk? | Dog Care - The Daily Puppy |
I did check but only a few showed. She's been on the whelping pudding since yesterday, it's one of the few things she would actually take when we got home.
I feel like such a fool not checking this earlier. I was so happy to see them latch on and her taking care of them, that I didn't think anything was wrong. Babies' bellies are a little pudgy but not quite round.
