  yes as mike said them udders go thru heck with a litter of pups . .  those pups being 3 1/2 weeks old if you feel the need to they can be put on a puppy gruel made from softened puppy chow and milk replacer and pulled off the gyp . they will eat at this age  I start feeding mine the gruel at 3 wks old and I had to pull the pups off of a gyp at 3 wks before and raised all of them just fine . my old plot gyp became mastitized when her litter was 3 weeks old and the vet suggested to just start feeding the pups and get them off the gyp and everything worked out great .
