Hi! Giving birth is a rough deal and she is a young cat. Try to get fresh water into her as well as some chicken broth. She needs high protein to build up her strenght. Boiled chicken diced up and mixed with rice might help her as well. If you have a Vet, call him and give him an up date on what is going on. She will not want to leave the kittens. He may want to see her to make sure her delivery went okay and she is all right. Don't take any chances, keep a close eye on her.
