Or an emergency Vet if yours is unavailable. If you think something isn't right you should ask a Vet immediately.

ty for reply ...i did , the em vet said watch close, as long as will take food and water and not running temp prob will be fine by tomorrow if not then return to my vet
Watch her closely!
Also chech her color - lift a flap and look at her gums and the inside of her flap. Press your finger on the inside and let go. Does the full color return in under 2 seconds? If not, or she looks pale, she could be becomming anemic due to blood loss (could be internal bleeding). If the inside of her mouth is 'pasty' she is likely dehydrated and needs fluids. In the meantime you can give her unflavored Pediylite.
The lower temp and lethergy could be a sign of shock. Usually 3 days post C-Section my girls are starting to feel much better and taking an active part in caring for the pups.
Ty for replys and help!
Been giving Pediylite 35 cc s every hour, she has gotten up 2x s this afternoon an wondered around.... maybe by tonight or morning will be fine if not back to vet for sure,,,gums look norm for now , no distention in abdomanal area
Thank you for help!
So greatful to have place to ask questions an get help!
Love MY Bulldog!
