I took in a pregnant stray as a foster a few weeks ago and since we don't know exactly how far along she is, vet said to expect kittens any day as of 2 weeks ago. Well until the past few days she's had a huge appetite and thirst and she's been ultra affectionate and has been nesting since she got here. I noticed this morning she hadn't eaten much which I took to be a sign labor might be near, but she also seems like she's lost weight, not in her belly like the kittens dropped but her spine is a lot more prominent (she's been under weight since we found her but was gaining.). she seems to have chosen a new nesting spot and is now panting and her eye is kinda twitching and she isn't soliciting play or affection the way she was. If she weren't pregnant I'd think she was sick, but I'm wondering if it means she might be going into labor? No milk, no visible contractions, she seems lethargic not restless. Should I just assume she's going into labor or should I be worried she's sick? If it's labor should I leave her be or sit next to her and comfort her. She barely seems to notice I'm there right now which is a huge change from the past few weeks.
