Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Lulu. Nursing puppies is tiring, but she should not be really tired. I'm concerned this can be a sign of a postpartum problem. I would take her and her puppies into a vet immediately to get checked out. I hope this helps!
