My 2-year-old Warren is showing some of the symptoms of being egg bound.
I tried putting her in warm water for 30 minutes - she loved it! Also loved being dried with the electric heater! She seemed brighter after the bath and ate/drank fine before resting in a cardboard box inside the house in the warmth. No sign of an egg though.
How long should I leave it before getting the vet in?
- Walking like a penguin for about two days
- Just sitting in her nest box looking really miserable (she's top of the pecking order and usually out bossing the others about all day!)
- I can feel a large mass inside her slightly more on her left side.
- She's only just finished molting and hasn't been laying for a few weeks. This would be her first egg since then.
