Nydia,
I'm so sorry that you lost one. But I'm glad that you trusted your instincts and took her in. When my dogs deliver, I give them 1/2 a can of Science Diet food twice a day. Plus, I give them 1/3 C. of Esbilac twice a day. The Esbilac will boost her calcium, give her nourishment and boost liquid intake. Most of them will gulp it right down.

For the puppies, are they crying? How do you know that she's not producing milk? I would definitely take her temperature and squeeze her nipples to see if there is any milk there.

Good luck!
