Well she should be on her way to the vet, its very important for her to remain hydrated.

And while your there get her spayed

Also you can try adding something to her water like chicken broth.

Get Her To The Vet She May Have A Infection From Giving Birth Its Important For Her To Drink Lots Of Water While She Is Nursing As Milk Is Mostly Water And With Out Enough Water In Her System She Can Not Produce Milk For Pups And You Can Not Have Her Spayed Till She Weans Her Pups But She Does Need To Go To Vet Asap

Alpha how could you suggest spaying at this time? Sounds cruel to me. Sure hope that dog got taken to the vet today.
