The shell fragments that you felt inside her vent, were they soft shell or hard?
I would give her a warm epsom salts soak if she is not too lethargic. If she is lethargic, then place her in a steamed up bathroom or give her moist heat with heating pad.
You can put little oil or lubricant inside the vent, I'm going to assume there's still shell fragments inside (?)
Do your best to get her hydrated - plain water, gatorade, poultry vitamins - whatever will entice her to drink. I agree with @Granny Hatchet to give calcium - this helps with contractions so hopefully she can pass whatever is in there out. You can give a crushed up TUMS as suggested or if you have Caltrate give 1/2tablet.
Penicillin may help if that's all you have. Do you have a relationship with your dog/cat vet that may give you a prescription for Baytril or Amoxicillin without seeing her?
Have you kept the Penicillin refrigerated and it's in date? I would like Kim and Kathy's thoughts on this, but if it's been used, I would buy new, but that's my picky self
