This could be a serious problem , maybe she is suffering from a condition called milk fever (lack of calcium). you will definitely need to separate the puppies from her then you will need to feed them with a puppy milk replacer every 2-4 hours. Poppy might need to be treated as well for her condition, i recommend taking her to the vet ASAP.
