Egg bound and can’t get egg out need advice

[jetmek94]

This little hen is 3 years old old EE she struggled with soft shelled eggs about 2 months ago and was treated with antibiotics. She recovered and was doing great! I noticed she was acting odd again and thought it was sour crop. From antibiotic can feel more than one egg inside but can’t get anything out. She has had calcium 600 vitamin D3 and 2 warm baths. Her crop is full and mushy I was treating her with yeast meds Greek yogurt and probiotics. What else can I do? Should I put her down. She is still drinking and taking is some food.

@Eggcessive for expert advice.
Are you giving calcium citrate or what form of calcium is it? Did you start on the antibiotic again? When you say you can feel more than one egg inside are you inserting your finger to check or can you see the eggs? Did any break?

Calcium citrate plus D3 I just noticed on bottle on tab is 400 mg. Should I give her another half tab? She is not on antibiotics now. 10 day course about a month ago. When I massaged her during warm bath it feels like hard lumps in her abdomen. She just pooped. Pic included

If one tablet is 400mg then I'd give the other half tab.
Has it been longer than 24 hours?

I think that 300-600 mg of calcium is within a safe margin for egg binding. Try to get her drinking some fluids with sugar or electrolytes, and offer a bit of moistened feed. It could be that she is having some symptoms of salpingitis or other reproductive disorder. Let us know if she lays and how she is getting along.

I did get 600 mg in her this am. I’m afraid I'm loosing the battle with her. I had to spoon feed her some water. I’ve tried everything I have read about. I feel like I’m torturing her. I had to leave for work I will be leaving early to tend her. Her vent is hard her crop feels like mush. I don’t know.

The only other thing I could think of would be some hemorrhoid cream to help reduce any inflammation around the vent... but sometimes reproductive issues are all internal and therefore hard to treat. I've seen a few posts where they only discovered the source of the problem after a necropsy.
I'm sorry - I hope she pulls through somehow.
