Have you taken her temp? Yes, she could be sick....she could have an infection....are you sure she passed all the placentas? Has she had her post whelping vet exam? I would have her seen by a vet to make sure there is not something else going on...unsettled and crying is not something I want to see at this stage. If she checks out OK, you have access to Royal Canin puppy formula....use it, warmed to teach the babies to lap from a shallow saucer....they dont do well with depth at this age so keep everything on a shallow saucer....then you can mix that warmed puppy formula in with the Royal Canin puppy mousse, thinned to the consistancy of a pudding,,,,you can start with letting them lick it from your finger....but please have momma checked out.

She sounds like something is wrong. I would go back to the vet with her and the little ones since a couple are sick also!
