Congrats on Bobbi's new puppies! If you think that there may still be more puppies inside her it's been more than four hours since the last puppy was born, then I would recommend taking her to the vet right away - she will need x-rays to determine if there are still more puppies or not. If so, she may need an emergency c-section to get them out.
