OK hot end is 33C steady and cold end is 26C. Before we upped the temperatures the hot end was 28C steady so I imagine on a night the cold end probably was getting below 18C. The good news is that today her mouth is a healthy pink, she has eaten one half of her morning feed and slept under the lamp. She woke up on her own, came out on her own like she normally does and ate on her own. Still a little sunken eyed and lethargic but we are getting there. Will still make appointment for vets.
