The title of your thread scared the heck out of me
I would call the vet and ask. I'm not a breeder so I can't say but
I would think your vet would want to see both Mom and puppies
after birth. I know tails get docked and declaws removed a couple days after birth so maybe that's when the vet would check out momma.
Good luck with the welping. I hope someone sees your thread
to answer properly.
