Answer
Hi Christina

7 is old for a female to have pups, so her age contributes to the size of her litter and her care.

If the pups aren't crying and getting plump, no worries about her milk. Don't forget that she's cleaning the pups and eating everything they expel.  You can supplement her meals with beef heart, kidney and liver (in moderation), or quality canned food.

Good luck.
