Try stimulating the nipples like milking a cow and get them to produce more. If this continues she may have problems and should see a vet and you may have to substitute her milk by feeding the pups with a formula such as Formula One.
Give her puppy food as it is higher in calories and will help her produce.
If the mammories become hot, red or lumpy then get her to a vet ASAP

Why are you breeding her so much? IS she a companion or a puppy machine? You should ask your vet about what to do and get some puppy replacment formula to feed the puppies who aren't getting enough to eat. Then you should do right by your dog and get her fixed so she can live a healthy, happy care free life. I think you've probably made enough money from her sacrifice by now. Give her a break.

Before the puppies nurse, put a hot pack on her tummy for about 5 minutes. make it just hot enough to be very warm to your touch, but not hot enough to burn her..
Feed her cooked carrots in her food.
Give her puppy food..Moisten it with puppy formula.
Make a broth by boiling chicken, liver or chicken livers in plenty of water, and offer her that as her water, served barely warm.. this will get her drinking more (don't add any seasonings or salt)
Give her b!tches vitamins.
Get puppy formula for the puppies and a human bottle with newborn Nuk or Platex nipples..If you have to feed the puppies, always warm it and keep it warm while feeding. (wrap bottle in a washcloth)
Never allow the puppies to go 3 hours without eating.

I agree somewhat with chetco there, but first you need to make sure she isn't producing enough. When my dog has puppies I weigh them every day. If you puppies are gaining weight then she is producing enough milk for her puppies. IF not then you have to feed them every four hours with puppy formula that you can get from your vet or any pet store will carry the formula. Just weigh them and see if they are gaining weight or losing weight.

Watch her, if she doesn't have enough milk to feed all the puppies, she may kill them. Sorry, but I had an Irish Jack Russell Terrier kill 4 of her puppies, I saved 2 and bottle fed them.

Are you giving her puppy food? becuase that can help her and her puppies. also, there is a nutriontion supliment for dogs and cats called nutistat and also nutical (same product different name). get some of that. it will help her to keep up her energy, and with little puppies to deal with, she's gonna need all the help she can get.
