Why not take her to the vet to have her checked, just to rule out any problems. While you're there, they should have pills they can give you to make her "dry up".

Sounds like your female has possibly a mammary gland infection....time to begin weaning and take her to a vet for an antibiotic. Does she seems to have a discharge of yellow or green junk, smells musty? Does she back off when you palpate her? It means pain and discomfort for her, esp since the pups are getting stronger, bigger, and those teeth are a coming.....God bless.
