Update

I was unable to remove the second egg. However, on final x-ray, it is gone. I'm not sure if it disintegrated or has been crushed into powder (the shell was soft and felt powdery). I flushed her out with saline after having my fingers in there. Bean is resting after passing a large amount of watery stool, likely from the saline. She is panting, I think from pain. I soaked her in warm water and have her on a heating pad for warmth. I plan to let her rest until late tonight before giving her antibiotics.

We were to the point is afternoon that I was going to have to euthanize her. I would rather do so having tried *everything* in my power to save her. I hope you all understand that know this was a risky choice to make.

You certainly did everything you could to save your darling girl.. RIP Bean.

Unfortunately, that only works if the shell is hard enough. From what I read, Bean's issue was that the shells were to soft, possibly her muscles weren't able to grip them to pass them out.
