My momma dog is weak, not eating 6 weeks after puppies. Urgent?

Question

My Momma Dog has lost a lot of weight, very weak, lethargic, she was extremely hungry all the time & drinking excessive amounts of water. But today she won’t eat or drink anything. She had 10 puppies about 6 weeks ago, I do know they need to be dewormed, I got SENTRY WORM-X-DS & administered, but now momma dog is acting like this. What could be going on? What should I do? They all have a vet apt on 12/28, I don’t know if she’ll wait that long!? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 55 lbs

No, I would not recommend waiting another 6 days and would schedule an emergency appointment for her immediately. Severe weakness is never a good sign and can indicate severe fever, blood loss, infection or low blood sugar or calcium, all of which can be life threatening.
