my guy is recovering from repair of torn ACL and cannot tolerate any type of narcotics. this was discussed in great length about his sensitivity to anethesia and drugs in general.
so for him he was given an epidural and placed very gingerly under anethesia and even with that he still had some minor post-op symptoms such as panting, pacing, and anxiety which lasted for 48 hours. Being that he cannot tolerate Tylenol #3 and nalbuphine injections he is on plain tylenol 325 mg., every 8 hours for pain management and doing well.

So her milk didnt come in yet?

Don't forget to entertain a stranger,For by doing so some have entertained Angels without knowing it!Hebrews:13-14

No, her milk still has not come down. Her puppies are still sucking but not getting anything.

it will make you crazy for a few days, DONT GIVE HER ASPIRIN, she just had surgery it will thin the blood. She is nursing her babies, you dont want anything going to them.

sounds like a very upset and nervous Mother and a nervous Mother is not going to let her milk down and settle down to care for her babies..Keep EVERYONE away from her and her babies. NO company, NO visitors, No neighbors or children to visit the babies..Just you, her and the babies. If she's nesting a week after she's had the babies she is most likely trying to find a place to hide them or cover them to protect them from whatever she feels is a threat to them. She's had a hard week and now it's time to slow down and help her relax. If your upset, she's going to sense it and not settle down. Low calming light, maybe some soft soothing music and you within her site reading a book or resting quietly.

Her temp is fine. I checked it about an hour ago, it was 101.2 and she is nesting alot.

Yes, her litter is fine, 2 females. I really hope that you are right and her milk comes down soon. Thanks for asking.

check her temp.

They pant, nest and dig holes.

my girl did the same thing panted alot after her c-section, the vet told me it can be a side affect of being put under.

Its usually within the few days on and off!
Im sorry shes been through a lot..Was her litter okay?

No the only medicine he gave her was an antibiotic. Do you know if it would be alright to give her a baby aspirin until I can call the vet tomorrow?

Did the Vet give her any pain meds? Sounds as if she hurts.

and since she has her second surgery because of excessive bleeding I'm reluctant to have you give her anything that could complicate the clotting/healing from that procedure.

A pain medication is definitely called for and if the vet won't send home 2-3 days worth of pills, at least take her by to get a shot (which will last about 12hrs). Shame on this vet for not knowing that the dog would need something for surgery twice in such a short time...that's why she's panting! If cool compresses would provide some comfort, try those...or even a heating pad on low...anything that might help her to settle down this evening/tomorrow morning until you can get some meds for her.
