Boxer supplements; Vitamins for mastitis;

Question
My boxer gave birth to her first litter of pups July 6,2011. She gave birth to 6 live pups but lost 3 due to inexperience, I believe. I was not home when she had them and I believe she layed on them. The other 3 are fat happy healthy pups. I got home tonight from work and 1 of her breast is hard. I was able to rub it and finally get a little drop or two of milk out but what also looked like a drop of puss. I plan to contact  the vet in the a.m. but is there something I can do tonight to help her?

Answer
Hi, Sounds like mastitis!  You can do warm compresses...
Yes, She will also need the Vet for antibiotics.

Consider placing her onto some supplements --it will heal and protect...
Good for her milk production and safe for the pups.
