Poor Sadie May! I'm concerned that her yelping and pulling at her fur may be signs of pain. Since she just had puppies, Sadie May could have retained a puppy, or could have an infection developing. She should be seen by a vet to make sure her symptoms are not due to a serious health problem rather than anxiety. Hope this helps.
