Help!
Our 1 plus year old New Hampshire Red has been noticeably eggbound for at least 5 days now!
I can feel it in her abdomen but it's not visible or feelable through her vent.
We took her to the vet and got X-rays and pain meds and calcium and she's secluded in our laundry room with a heat lamp, a humidifier, and her own little cozy cage but she's in a ton of distress. I don't know what to do!
We can't afford taking her back to th vet for any other procedures but can't just sit here and watch her die. Everything I seem to do puts her in severe respiratory distress, she spent the whole bath panting like crazy. She didn't seem to be having trouble with pooping until tonight when it turned gooey and clear....good sign? Bad sign?
Im exhausted and she's exhausted and I don't know what's next.
Please help. Any advice is appreciated

Thank you

Did the vet say there was an egg in the oviduct that he could see? If there was, you should have been able to feel it.

She may be clogged up with cooked egg material from an ecoli infection called salpingitis. Egg yolk peritonitis. and internal laying are common ailments that mimic egg binding. Usually, actual egg binding does not continue for that long without killing the hen.
