You need to supplement the pups with formula and keep mom from nursing. YOu can take an ACE bandage, wrap mom's teats (not too tight to restrict blood flow) and put a newborn onsie over her.

Let her be a mom by cleaning and being with the pups but in no way should mom be allowed to nurse the babes.

Also, at first sign of eclampsia, you can give Calsorb (get from your vet and keep a tube on at all times) and immediately get her in to a vet. They can go down VERY quick and moms have died as a result.
