Sounds like she's eggbound. Try soaking her in a container of warm water up to her sides. While she's soaking, massage her underside front to rear for about 20 minutes. The warm water will relax her innards, massaging will help move the egg along. Then hopefully she'll lay the egg....she might even lay it in the water. Repeat as necessary.

I have tried the bath and given her olive oil around her vent

I have just give her a bath deffo not eggbound cannot feel one anyway , any more advice please anyone

How long has she been like this? If she has been like this for a while, my guess would be that she has some sort of abdominal infection caused by internal laying.

I hope she feels better!
