Might be Fading puppy syndrome

Question
My Westie bitch has had 3 litter's in total. The First litter she had 5 pups. Four of theese were alive and healthy but one was born dead. The dead puppy was much smaller than the others and my dad thought it had died inside a while ago. She brought up theese pups fine and all four were healthy . However, her second litter she had around seven or eight pups I don't quite remember. All of theese pups slowly died over a period of 1-2 days. They were pushed aside and slowly died. I was devastated. Then She became pregnant again and gave birth to eight pups. The same thing happened again. In both of theese last litters she gave birth to them early- around 3-5 days early. I was totally devastated and did not want to try again for my bitch's sake. But I heared about this 'fading puppy syndrome' and there was a medicine to give your bitch before being fertilized and before giving birth. My bitch is now in season and after hearing about the 'fading puppy syndrome' I would like to give it a last final shot. Is there any medicine available? and where I could find it?. Please reply a.s.a.p it will be very very much apresheated!
Thank you ever so much .

Answer
Anwen -

There is such as thing as fading puppy syndrome.  It is a broad term used to describe several nondescript symptoms that occur when puppies die inexplicably.

Have you had your dog checked by a veterinarian?  You should have her health status evaluated before you chose to mate her.  

I do not recommend breeding her until you find out why her babies die.
