I assume there is still improvement to be had?
Is there a good chance that her milk will fully come in?

Sorry about your bad back....I too can not get up and dopwn and bend over like I used to, so my whelping crates are custom made and they are waist high!! No bending over!!! As far as the milk coming down, yes this is good news and she should start producing more and more as the babies suckle....just keep doing what you are dpoing....good job.....momma is being kept well hydrated with liquids, which is more important for the first few days than eating food...her appetite will start to pick up as the days go by....you may have to continue to hand feed her...they love to be pampered and showered with attention!!! Mine do anyway!!
