Okay I just got her back, lots to go over. So they said the xray showed what felt like an egg back there is actually a hernia, and there is currently no eggs in her. At the moment all I can really do is give her metacam for pain and monitor to make sure she is doing okay. They said they aren't...

Just dropped her off at the vet. They will call me with any updates. For now they are just checking her out and giving her an xray, it did feel like she still has a soft shell egg in there so I will just be waiting to see what the vet says after looking at rhe xray and see if she suggests it...

Some great news!! Pipsqueak laid an egg overnight!! 🥳🥳🥳 Yesterday I got 3 eggs from the other 3 ducks and brought them in. I have been very careful to make sure there are no eggs before putting them to bed, puffin and pipsqueak are the only 2 in the coop overnight and I got 2 eggs this...

Just updating, nothing has really changed she is still acting normal but still has something down there. I decided to not change the vet appointment and just keep the appointment to get it removed. An xray was included in the quote for $360 they gave me so I'm just gonna bring her on Thursday...

After feeling her lump down there today it honestly doesn't even really feel like an egg anymore. If there is an egg in there it is definitely smaller than average it doesn't feel super distinct in there like it dod a few days ago I'm thinking maybe there is just some of those weird pieces I was...

Yeah it's just a small neighborhood road only people that live there go by but they were literally all just sitting smack dab in the middle of the road when I got there but momma started moving them as soon as she saw me coming, I see them all around here in neighborhoods with ducklings but...

Nothing to update yet she is doing about the same and no egg yet, but on the bright side here is a little vid of a muscovy Mom with 21 ducklings I just saw while dropping off an uber eats order

Okay so it's still not out yet but she is looking good and still trying. Not sure if she is eating them and pooping them out, or just moving them, but I'm finding a little pile of the oyster shells in her pool every morning. I just called the vet to reschedule her appointment my bills are...

Found a couple very small soft eggshell pieces in the pool but no other evidence of an egg today. She visibly looks better really her bloating is looking the same as the other ducks that are laying now, and it feels like there is just one small egg in there. At this point I'm pretty confident...

Okay I just gave her a second calcium dose with the metacam before putting them away for the night. Also I want to say I tried this new brand of oyster shell and highly reccomend them. I've never had much luck getting my girls to eat the white or gray types of oyster shell so I've always just...

Every morning

She was in there a little more than a half hour, she was definitely trying but no egg yet, she was in there trying for far longer than she has so far though

Been in there about 20 minutes now and still isn't trying to jump out. I hear her moving around a bit and heavy breathing every once and awhile so it sounds like she is trying in there

I've got her in a warm bath now and she has been in there for 10 minutes and isn't trying to jump out which is a first. Every other time I've put her in she lasts about 5 min before trying to jump out. I'm just sitting outside of the bathroom listening and letting her do her work in private...

I'm glad you agree, now I just really hope she gets the other one out before Wednesday. I do have the money for the vet but I really have a lot of other things it would be extremely helpful to go to.
