Did the vet not explain the ins and outs of whelping, especially since this was your first time whelping a litter? Was your vet not on call for emergencies? Any good vet, would have done EVERYTHING to make sure you were ready for this. Though I was pretty confident in whelping my first litter (just recently, too), my vet went over every minute detail to make sure I was ready. Either you are just saying you went to the vet to avoid harsh criticism from us on YT, or you just need to get another vet. It doesn't sound as though this "vet" of yours did what they could to ensure the safety of your dog and her puppies. Sorry if this offends you at all, but it needed to be said. Harsh, but true.
