I'm so glad to hear that she's doing better. The panting is very normal after delivery. They just get hot. They've got all their body heat, plus the heat from the puppies and the heat lamp or heating pad you've got her with. Always make sure her water is full too. Also, I don't understand feeding meals after they deliver.... why not just keep food available at all times? Then it's not a worry.

I give my girls a bowl of cottage cheese every day after they deliver for extra calcium.
