Hi there
Pringles is still carrying but hasn't eaten for 2 days she is still drinking more than normal
Does this sound normal - any advice and feed back really appreciative x

From the article above (in post #10), this is one of the normal signs of the last few days of pregnancy.  You said her temperature was 32.5 four days ago but have not mentioned it since, but that's a significant drop if it has stayed that low. The signs indicate she may be having her babies pretty soon.  Does she show any milk production yet? Since this is the weekend, it would be a very good time for her to have them since you will be home, right?

 

Decreased appetite


Pregnant females usually display an increase in appetite during the last weeks of their pregnancy. Yet in the days and hours prior to the birth itself many owners report a significant decrease in appetite. This could be the result of the kittens pushing on the mother's stomach or simply another sign of general anxiety as the cat senses the coming event.

Yes temp has been up and down but stayed down last 2 days at 33 her boobies r showing very white on the tips and can clearly see the little feeding holes looking quite dry and crispy
I am worried now as she's struggling to even move as so uncomfortable
