ANSWER: Hi Carrie
How old is the female? Did she get bred, back to back to back to back?
What kind of food is she on?
All these play a large part in the health and well being of not only the pups but the dam.
Her milk may come in after she's whelped.

QUESTION: she is 4 years old she had her first litter when she was 1 1/2 yrs old the 2nd when she was 2 1/2 the 3rd at 3yrs 2mts and now she is 4. she eats purnia dog chow
AnswerSo she's been bred every heat her last three seasons. That would explain why her body hasn't had a chance to catch up.
A breeding female should be in top physical and mental health, be on quality food, supplement with organ meats, vitamins and oils. Her milk may come after she's whelped, but her body is going to need so extra proteins and vitamins.
