I'm not sure about using it on its own. Paired with calcium citrate, d3 helps with absorbing and contractions. Did you feel in her vent for an egg? Did you massage her abdomen during her bath? Like mentioned above, you can use something to lubricant her vent. Coconut oil, vegetable oil, something like that will be fine. Hopefully the bath relaxed her enough for that egg to come on out.
I felt externally. To me, she feels fine, her vent area seems squishey. I can feel where the bone on her abdomen ends and I don't feel anything hard after that. I will be feeling for one in about twenty minutes, as soon as I get gloves. She's resting now, so definitely relaxed. Shes also groomed a bit.
Her vent is pulsing, which makes me think she is eggbound. The only other thing would be that she was given a lot of cut green grass yesterday which is abnormal because her run doesn't have green of any kind. She also just came out of her winter molt, and has had one egg since then, Tuesday.Some of the ladies that were tagged earlier in this thread are active now, so hopefully they'll be on to offer more helpful information. You said that her vent wasn't pulsing, right? Is there a chance something else is going on with her? When did she last lay an egg? Here's hoping she'll be feeling much better very soon
I didn't. I do usually check it every night when I lock them in for the night, but I dont remember feeling anything unusual. She got down as usual to say hello to me, got a midnight snack, and went to bed. All very normal for her. Right now, her crop seems very liquid (partially because I've been giving her water from syringe) but, it was before I gave her water.
I will not soak her again tonight, however she was indoors and in front of a heater until she dried. She's also spending the night in the house, and in shavings.
Will do.
