    Help!

    Completely shell-less or do they have a paper thin shell or membrane? How is she doing today? Eating, active? If she has shown no improvement you should consider your vet euthanizing her. It might be best not to have her suffer :( Sounds like she may have a reproductive issue. It's so hard, but...
