I would take her in and get her spayed and ask the vet to run routine tests and blood work on her first

Females who are nursing a litter DO lose a lot of resources in trying to provide the nutritional requirements for all those kittens. It is hard work and she needs a LOT of extra calories right now. Do your girl a favor and let her eat as much as she wants as frequently as she wants. Give her a good, high-quality KITTEN food formula both canned and dry. Free feed the dry, leaving it down all day and night for her and give her at least 3 cans of moist food a day.

She will get her tone and shape back once the babies are weaned. Have you started the kittens on regular food yet? If not, you might want to try to introduce them to it now in order to give your Momma girl a break from providing 100% of their requirements.

Best of luck,
