Embarassed 16 day old Puppies Mom with Diarrhea

My Yorkie is nursing 5 puppies and yesterday had a small amount of blood and mucous with 2 bowel movements, 5 movements total. We went to the vet who gave her cimetadine injection and metrodinazole for me to give her and that is a med that is contraindicted in nursing dogs. I called the vet hospital and they said it should not be given. Anyway, today, she has not had a bowel movement and she is eating. We have had trouble getting her to drink since the birth. I use a syringe or she has gotten subq fluids. My question is should I be concerned with no bowel movement and has anyone had a nursing bitch who would not drink. Her calcium level was fine a week ago when she was completely refusing water. Thanks
