Lolli is getting tired waiting for Lilli to pop the kids out Lol. Live stream cam died. Ordered new battery so if she holds off until Friday night it should be good to go. Until then I hooked up my security cam:)

No, the temp does not drop. Have you seen any contractions? No amber discharge yet? A low temp is usually indicative of hypocalcemia which will also cause stalled labor. If she were mine I would look for a vet but hard to do at this time of night, so I would give her CMPK if you have any. This can be critical. The other thing that causes low temp is a rumen shutting down. Has she been eating?

It is good that she is eating. I would just keep checking her temp and if it drops any more I would get a vet involved before the weekend. If it is low calcium she will start to act a little spacey too. My vet did a Calcium IV but she could monitor the heart and blood levels, we can't do that at home so we are always 'shooting from the hip' as they say. I wouldn't hesitate to give another dose of the oral calcium, if that is what you are giving her.
