It should be fine to turn the air on low as long as the room does not get to cold, as long the air is not blowing on the pups and the pups have a warm place to lay. I always use a heating pad that I put under just 1/2 of their bedding so the pups can crawl off of it if they get cold. You can drape a sheet over the pen to give her more privacy and to block any breeze. You do not want the mom to get to hot or it will effect her milk production. New mommas normally do a lot of panting after having puppies. Your main concern will be that she did pass all the pups and all the placentas. Make sure momma is not running a temperature. If her temperature goes over 103 then she needs to see a vet immediately.
I am glad you are having a vet to come check her. Do you have calcium pills for her?

If you have other dogs in the house then it would be best to confine Hailey to a pen so other dogs cannot get to her pups.

Please keep us updated on how she is dong.
