I've never seen a rat or mouse do this as a symptom of impending birth. However, I have seen it, several times. I suspect that it is the result of a severe ear infection or something of the type. Causes the effected rat to keep their head cocked to one side all the time for no apparent reason. I've left them be in this condition before, and sometime's they get better, but when they get to the point of running in circles I figure their must be a considerable amount of pain associated so I usually go ahead and put them down.
Let her have the pups. Try to wean them onto another doe for nursing. Then put her out of her misery (Unless of course someone knows how to cure her, I'd like to know about that too, I've had to put down a few real favorites)
