You posted her unusual behavior and by all means I am no expert. However, I do err on the side of caution. Especially after the whelp, the first after is a dangerous time for the pups and mom. So, being an alarmist at the vet, that's the least of my worries, my girl is # one. My motto is if I keep the mom healthy and happy her pups are happy and healthy and it keeps me from hand raising a litter. I'm of the school, if I have a situation that I'm unsure of that my mentor is unfamiliar with I go with my vet.
