So, I'm trying to keep a really close eye on Ethel for anymore lash eggs. So today I reached up in between her back legs to see if I could feel anything and I am feeling a hard mass of some sort. Same thing I felt months ago and posted on here about and most likely the same thing the vet felt when I took her in. Shortly after her visit I felt again and noticed it was gone. So that sort of ruled out a tumor. Now that she has started laying lash eggs, I'm wondering if that is another one coming again so soon after the last one. I know I can put a glove on and some petroleum jelly and put a finger in there to see what I feel, but am I going to hurt her? If I do anything wrong. It doesn't feel lumpy, feeling it from the outside, but it does feel hard, I didn't squeeze it too hard. In case it was an egg, it does feel somewhat egg shaped, and the more I was feeling of it the more she would stick her butt up in the air and her vent would start going in and out. Not sure if I should do anything or just let her lay whatever is in there? I have sent a message to a mobile avian vet inquiring about the implant so I'll see what she says hopefully in a day or two. Still not sure if I want to go that route but we'll see what she says.
