Poor Callie! This could indicated several different things including a serious post-partum infection, a virus, electrolyte imbalances and much more. I would strongly recommend to have your vet take a look at her. Your vet will be able to run blood work and help figure out what is wrong. They will be able to give her the proper meds to help her feel better and are safe for the nursing kittens. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better soon!
