They'll keep her with her pups but they're going to need to give her lots of fluids and plenty of food.
They'll do supplementary bottle feedings with the pups until Mum has recovered enough to feed them herself. Pups need Mum for more than just food.

At least that is what will happen if they're otherwise healthy. They certainly look healthy
