What can I do?

You can try using a warm compess on the affected glan and see if that helps with any soreness and allows the milk to be expressed. If the milk cakes in the glan you cluld have problems.
Call your vet in the morning.

SHe has problems and her tits are hard and impacted..
use warm wash rags and go run buy BAG BALM at the Feed store or Tractor supply
Mix some forumla ....1 can goats milk evaporated or evaporated milk...one egg white, whipped, 1 tbs white karo....1 can drinking water w no choline..(same amt as the milk )refridgerate unused for only two days...
shake up well....put into a bottle and heat in water......DO NOT MICROWAVE>.it kills all the vitamins.
Put in a pet baby bottle from feed store or pets mart...feed pup laying on side..
HOw old are they?
I will not tell anyone how to tube feed. I would be in trouble ...
if you use the warm compresses, she may take one pup at a time..
How many and how old are they/

make her let them nurse on other side...maybe three at a time..since there are 9
wow
But get some emergency Formula things in case of further problems...keep it always on hand in two weeks they can slop slop out of a pie dish if it happens..
One question: DID you give her calcium supplements along the way???????

Only give a bitch calcium in real food..
Never give a whelping bitch any calcium pills
Most dog food has sufficient
Feed canned dog food top brand puppy food for choline and extras...and add yogurt and cottage cheese to dogs food and or Powered milk on top of food daily
Calcium forms calcified problems in the breast ...and that gives your big problems...
German shepherds are prone to this...I never ever use Pill form Calcium supplements and warn against it..
I do not care what vet told you that..Unless your female has a medical problem and cannot digest calcium from dog food..no pills or calcium supplement in that form is needed.. If pups needed extra the pups would be in distress and that is not so..
When pups start to eat,,you feed things that give natural calcium not pills.
