You are supposed to clip dew claws within the first few days to minimize bleeding and pain. The puppies should take care of the milk. If they're not eating much or very often urgent help is to be sought. Don't milk the dog though. It might make her comfortable for awhile but it will signal her body to produce more milk and she will be more uncomfortable.
