Generally, if it's egg-bound, it's one and done. The calcium causes contractions and she'll lay the egg.I would think she should have a calcium tablet daily for a while. What would you do, @Eggcessive?

Ok great. Thank youI'm not sure, maybe twice.
Wow, really? I had no idea. She is a pet, but I am on the poor side, and can't afford much, I imagine that would be a pretty penny.If the bird is a pet (aka you don't mind a vet bill) I think there are implants that will stop the bird from laying eggs, and that could be a way to prolong her life and keep her around without the danger.
Like a prolapse?If she is egg bound again try the calcium citrate with vitamin D in the picture above. Walmart, Walgreens, Target all sell it, and generic is good. Has she lasts any too large eggs or had her vent area pecked? Things like that, and egg binding can damage the vent, thus making it harder to lay.
They only last a few months and cost a couple hundred dollars a pop. :/If the bird is a pet (aka you don't mind a vet bill) I think there are implants that will stop the bird from laying eggs, and that could be a way to prolong her life and keep her around without the danger.
Holy guacamole! Yeah, not going to happen. Unfortunately.They only last a few months and cost a couple hundred dollars a pop. :/
Yes, that is another thing that can cause vent damage.Like a prolapse?
