First question...................Have all the pups been born? Has the mother been checked and examined by a Vet? That is very important to do.
Above all.........................PLEASE TAKE HER TO A VET AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET THERE AS YOUR MOM AND ALL HER PUPS "could" BE IN DANGER. Only the Vet will know what the problem is, and Mommy is stressing on top of needing to care of her pups. Poor mommy. I will pray and hope that you take her to the Vet asap.
Blessings to all.

Take your dogs to a vet, (or call,vets have an answering service for emergencies) asking for health advice on a forum like this does not make you sound like a responsible breeder. Also really good breeders do not sell dogs as Christmas presents understanding that it's a busy time of year and not the best time for young dogs to adjust to new situations. People are stressed, there's all kinds of things around that puppies can get into, get sick or destroy. Also pups that are given as gifts often end up in the shelter. People buying pups as gifts don't know what they're getting into all too often. It's up to breeders to make sure that their pups go to homes that are ready to deal with the challenges of raising a pup.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
With no thought of the dog filling their head
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Knew he was cold, but didn't care about that
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Santa Claus - with eyes full of tears
He un-chained the dog, once so lively and quick
Last year's Christmas present, now painfully thin and sick
More rapid than eagles he called the dog's name
And the dog ran to him, despite all his pain
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Let's find this dog a home where he'll be loved by all."
I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year
For Santa Claus had made one thing quite clear
The gift of a dog is not just for the season
We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons
In our haste to think of the kids a gift
There was one important thing that we missed
A dog should be family, and cared for the same
You don't give a gift, then put it on a chain
And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight
"You weren't given a gift! You were given a LIFE!"
Give that to anyone who buys your "Christmas Gifts" and maybe you should think about it too, your dogs need to go to the vet as soon as they open and then you need to think about how wrong it is to treat dogs like items and schedule a spay for both your dogs.

Well follow the people here that are saying to take her to the vet ASAP. But I also want you to be careful of the owners the puppies are going to. A puppy for Christmas is nice and all, but some brats don't want them after a week of fun. I just hope they get good homes. Good luck with the mommy and the pups.

I think you need to take the dog and her pups to the vet first thing in the morning.

You need to call a vet.
White Poop in human and animals is usually a sign of gall bladder trouble. The gall bladder secretes bile, which is what turns our poop brown. Without bile, it would always be white. This could also explain why she doesn't want to stand up. If you've ever had gall stones, you know how painful they are.
It could be something even more serious than this, though. She and her babies need to be looked at- SOON.

OMG this is this type of entire pressing domestic dog concern. What are you doing with a 6 week domestic dog besides. She's too youthful to be going abode, by way of approximately 2 weeks. i wish this naming concern is the least of your domestic dog problems. somewhat.

I don't know where you live, but we have an emegency vet that is open, when all other vet clinics are closed.Maybe your vet clinic has an answering service or message to say what to do in case of emergency after hours. I think your dog needs immediate medical attention. Please try to find an after hours vet clinic that can help you.
Best of luck.
