Answer
Hello,
Your dogs have had babies, had surgery, and are no doubt more than a little stressed physically and mentally from all of the changes they have been through. Its not uncommon for the "parents" of puppies to fight, and in some cases, they even are aggressive toward the babies. Often, though, what looks like aggression to us is just natural "dog" behaviour. One thing that is different, is there are now puppies in the picture, which changes the dynamic of the pack - so there will be more jostling for position, and posturing. As long as no one looks in any real danger, just keep an eye on it, and enjoy those puppies!

Hope this helps!
