There could be more, but I doubt it. Is she having any discharge at all?
She is nursing six babies, and cleaning them, and this is a big job. She is probably still recovering from her extended labor with some after pains. She may feel some stress in adjusting to her new brood.
Her uterus will be distended still, so she will look lumpy.
She may need extra calcium. Are you giving her KMR to drink? You can mix a raw, beaten egg into her wet food for extra protein. Crushing the eggshell and grinding it into a fine powder and mixing it into her food will also give her extra calcium.
Though I think she will be fine, it couldn't hurt to schedule your mobile vet to come when they are available at the end of the week to check her out.
