I am posting as a last attempt to help my egg bound buff orpington "Buffy".
She has been egg bound for three days now and is getting weaker.
I have gotten on the threads here to follow some of the suggestions. She has had several sitz baths, many massages. We have put lube/oil in and around her vent. I have fed her oatmeal, vitamin D3, yogurt, and still no luck in passing the egg. After each procedure, she feels a little better. She will eat, walk around a bit, but then goes back to the nesting box and tries to lay that egg. She lays every day, so I am afraid that there will be more eggs logged jammed in her. She has begun to prolapse and I keep tucking it back in.
I haven't gone into her vent to try to pull out the egg or break it up.
I called the vet and he was going to charge $150 to break it up and remove it.
If anyone has any last minute suggestions or advice, I would appreciate it. I don't want to see her suffer, but hate the thought of putting her down.
I appreciate any recommendations.
