Tylosin, or Tylan 200 has proved successful to use on RI when a female is gravid, with no ill effects. If meds are needed, you may ask your vet about that.

I treated my big gravid albino for RI after I had to repossess her from an idiot. I used only lower humidity, and increased heat. I've been scolded for suggesting it in the past, but it's been effective for me. That being said, if it was me, I'd move her hot spot up to about 98° and try to keep the ambients no less than 85° and RH around 50% and see what that does for a month. If it didn't seem to be helping, I'd see my vet.

Diligence is most important when running higher temps though. It will be a lot of work checking to make sure you don't spike above 100°.

Hope that helps.
