She actually doesn't seem to be in distress or pain anymore. She kicking around, eating, trying to jump out of box, etc. No more pushing. I'm sure she's just acting like everything is fine. If I wasn't paying attention to her standing oddly, I wouldn't even notice she was eggbound with how...

Oh, I get it. I'm just stating I'm surprised she hasn't done it herself. He is an exotic vet so he does know things and the only one around us. I was going to give her one more good soak but my kids have to be quiet first (which hasn't happened all day) so she doesn't get scared.

We had a tornado come through here and we gave a lot of our money to victims which we told our vet that's what we did so this next couple weeks were tight. Figured we could do without more than they could. The vet only said I was doing everything I could do. Nothing else was said. I'm actually...

@Nabiki @Wyorp Rock I think the egg is too big for her to pass. She can still poop because it's too big for it to get to her pelvic bones. How do I get help her? Any thoughts?

I think she's pooping because the egg is too big to up far enough. It has moved farther to the vent yesterday and easier to touch but I can't get my finger around it easily without her bleeding. I don't want my finger to puncture something.

I consulted a vet. All they said was I was doing everything correctly. That was all the advice they could give.

It's right there wanting to come out but I think the egg is bigger than her pelvic bone. On the second picture my fingers are touching each side of the egg.

It has a thick, sticky center so not so easy to mix into water. I tried that. I put it in a syringe the best I could and just gooped it on her beak to irritate her enough to eat some. She's not wanting much from what I can tell but I'm also trying to leave her alone. I made her scrambled eggs...

Yes I did, but all they had was the softgel capsules. She didn't take that very easily and I didn't want to hold onto her too firmly and accidently bust the egg. I gave her what I could though. I'll get more creative in the morning. I'm thinking on how to get her to take it better.

I've touched it but then she tenses up and it goes back down. It's seriously a huge egg. It feels about 2" long and maybe 1" to 1½" wide just from what I can feel from the outside. I could be wrong obviously since that's through her skin, etc. The leaking stopped now so maybe it was just the...

Oh, not a buttom quail, she was in with a button quail to keep her separated. She is a Coturnix. It's in her abdomen. Most of time. It comes close where I can feel it with my pinky when I for to feel around for it and them it goes back down. The shell feels crackly which it didn't before she...

Thank you. I'll try that. She is already in a crate but with a button quail as I didn't have place to put the button quail at the moment. My kids being home for the summer complicate the quiet part when having to work on her frequently. Hopefully I can get my husband to take them away today...

I don't have the funds for that at the moment. Everything is going summer camps and fixing vehicles. The shell is already cracked so there's a chance she'll break it on her own also, especially if she jumps on something. It can be seen and felt easily on the outside of her body so if she hits...

Thanks, I'm hoping she can get it out. I was trying to get my finger on it get good enough to break it and pull it out at this point but I can't get a grip on it since it so far down and too big. They are so tiny and she tightens up and I can only use my pinky which is so much harder to grip with.

Best way to get a very large egg out. We've soaked, used mineral oil, tums, gentle massages, I've tried getting my pinky in there to try to help it out, but the m this egg is too large I think to get close enough. She startled and has cracked the shell. I wouldn't normally worry too much as...
