Egg bound Button Quail, may be prolapsing. In distress now.

Do you have any calcium? Can you fill your bathroom with steam, give her calcium, place her on a heating pad in the warm steamy bathroom? Ideally, you want her in a room that 85 degrees and very high humidity. The calcium will help her muscles expel the egg. She should also have fluids given to her orally, but with such a small one that is very difficult unless you have the proper equipment (tube).

Do you have any preparation h? That may help reduce swelling? I'm at a loss, I'm hoping someone with more knowledge will jump in soon

no prep H

Is her vent prolapsed really bad, or did her abdomen rupture?

looks like prolapse to me.
I cant push this huge egg out. The vent is what appears lacerated all around

So it's torn. That's not good.

Palpable egg with lethargy. Vent ripped with tissue disruption and blood. just tried massage of abdomen. Then warm water and massage. Nothings working. She can still be saved, but wont tolerate much more. Emergency. rural area. no vet accessable.

She and the others have been laying daily. no problem until now.

It's an emergency. She can still make it, but my window of opportunity is closing fast.

When I massage towards the vent, cant see the egg shell because there is tissue over it. Can the egg be stuck in the ovaduct? The tissue looks like intestine, but I really cannot say that for sure.

She's so tiny, but can you feel the egg if you feel inside the vent or just feeling it on the outside?

appears outer tissue torn all around vent. Do not see her inside tissue i.e. open bowels.

just outside i can feel the egg and gosh it feels too big. i can gently insert the lubricated qtop, but dont know if its going to lead to the egg and dont want to push.
She is tired.
