Dogs are not like people, once her milk dries up she will be fine. It takes about a week. They are stressed if they do not have a puppy to nurse so if you know someone that has a puppy that is under 4 weeks of age you can give it to her to mother. You must be very careful though to watch and make sure she does not kill the new puppy and you may need to supplement with extra milk since her milk has not fully come in as of yet. If you do not have a puppy for her you can take care of engorged breasts to make her more comfortable and can even give her a small stuffed squeaker toy to mother. To give her relief if her breasts are full of milk you can put warm water in your tub up to the top of her breasts and let her stand in it for 5 minutes. The warm water will draw out the access milk and give her some relief.

often mothers will eat their stillborn or babies that die shortly after birth, it is a natural instinct, to hide the scents of birth from predators. Sometimes a sow can get carried away with grooming the babies clean, they do it quite aggressively, as it is also to stimulate the babies, if the baby is stillborn or weak, the mom is going to keep trying to groom until she hears the baby cry out.
