First off take a deep breath and calm down. Next get your vets number handy in case she has any complications. Third sand back and watch she should be able to do it all by herself without any help. She will want to eat the after birth and it is good for her but I would not let her eat more than a couple as if she eats all of them it can and does cause them to get black tarry and very very smelly diarrhea. It is gross trust me and hard to clean up. Second make sure you feed her a good quality puppy food if you have not been already. You need to take her and the pups to a vet within no more than 72 hours after birth but the sooner the better. Next as you are watching her while she delivers watch to be sure that she delivers all of the pups if she gets one stuck it could kill that pup as well as her that is why I said to have your vets number handy. 90% of the time all goes well so just keep watch and let her do the rest. May I also suggest you get a book called breeding dogs for dummies it will help you with the care from here on out and the right questions to ask potential owners when you place the pups in their forever homes.
Ok once a pup comes out take of the plescenta and make sure the mouth and nasal passages are clear so they can breath! Then if they are not breathing rub the dog all over to stimulate breathing. Once the pups have come out and you did the above give it to m om so they can nurse! Hope this helps and remember to keep them warm!!!
CALL A VETRINARIAN IMMEDIETLY!
any emergency vet office should help you

keep her calm

it's ok, she will do most of the work. get a warm towel and a pair of scissors. she will have her pup w/ a slimy sack around it. she should tear it w/ her teeth, chew the cord into and clean the puppy, if she doesn't, you can tear the sac, cut the cord about a half inch from pups belly and rub it clean w/ the warm towel. it will be fine
Look you dont have to do too much. The mother dog will do almost all of the work. You can get some towels and help dry the pups off once the mom has cleaned them off. If she has the pups close together then just get the newest pup born and give it to the mom. You can do this and you will be fine.
If she doesnt break the bag open just tear it with yoru fingers and then get the pup into a towel and start to rub the pup until you hear him or her start to squeek. Then give the pup to the mom.
You should just let the mother dog alone. She will know how to give birth and take care of her puppies. She may not want you to bother her. In some cases if they are fooled with the mother won't care for them.
sweet heart the dog knows what to do. Just leave them alone and she'll do all the work.
Well, you should of thought of that before you decided not to get her neutered! No, that was mean, sorry. I'm pretty sure the mom will know what to do, just make sure their breathing! Where are your parents?!
Don't worry and don't panic. This is a natural cycle and they have been doing it forever. Let her do most the work and try not to interfere to much it might make her nervous or anxious. Just calmly help each puppy along, pull off the sack and make sure it is breathing. She will clean them all when she is ready and they need it. My only concern is for her since you said she is 11. Keep an eye on her and if things go bad, call the vet. Also remember, it may take time so if it seems to be forever, it is probably ok, just watch the wonders of God take place:)
