Good job, 3-4 puppies is an average litter but since you are inexperienced you need to take her to your vet as soon as they open. They can check to be sure she is done whelping, examine mom & pups to make sure everyone is ok, and give mom the pitocin shot to make sure all the placentas are detached. Pitocin also helps with bringing in her milk after delivery. Good luck with your puppies. Please make sure they are kept warm and have no drafts. Mom will need lots of fluids and food to make milk for the babies.
