Ed.....if she is just ignoring them and not making any attempt to be aggressive towards them then take the babies and put them on her teats and make sure they are nursing. But stay right there with her. Is her temperature normal. She might not be feeling good...she just went through a whole great big thing and now there are eleven little things trying to get close to her and since she had a c-section she is not exactly sure what to do. Take the puppies one by one and put them up by her mouth to see if she will clean them. Her maternal instincts have not kicked in yet...hopefully they will soon.
