    Scratching? As in itching? Where ? Are her puppies still with her (they should be) and nursing well.

    Panting can be anxiety, heat, dehydration or fever. Please make sure she has plenty to drink.

    If you have removed the pups already she may well need to see a vet ASAP to make sure she does not have mastitis or some other infection.
