    Not egg bound?

    Thank you. I just wanted to do all I could for her. I felt a little silly to be honest but my ladies are pets. And they are treated as so. We're going to miss our little Peace. We loved her.

    Not egg bound?

    Final update. The vet said she was either egg bound or had the yolk issue discussed prior. The only way to figure it out was to do an xray and surgery that would have made her unable to lay eggs any longer.

    Not egg bound?

    I have no way to check her temp and it's stressing me. All I have is an children's ear thermometer. I'm going to buy a mercury thermometer first thing in the morning. Her droppings don't at all seem yolk colored. She has had 2 movements since we've tube fed her. I took pictures What do you think?

    It doesn't seem like a hard molt. She seems sick. And the fullness in her abdomen is concerning to me.
