Prolaspe and possible egg bound

We finally got the swelling down from our girl with a prolapse by using raw honey. It was a miracle worker after trying all kinds of things. It's also the best antibacterial agent and all natural. I'd try to slather her but with raw honey and keep her in a dark place for a week. Hoping for the best and don't give up on her as this can usually be helped and they go on like normal.
 
Also, our girl was pushing constantly so I rubbed around her vent with an ice cube to force the pucker effect instead of a push. It seemed to help as well with only a few seconds of ice every few minutes for about 5 cycles.

Right now I'm using some Cortisone cream to help with inflammation but I can try honey as well. She isn't pushing right now. She's just preening herself and resting. I think that's a good sign. 👍 Thanks for the encouragement! She's my favorite girl!
 
Here's the update, she has perked up a little but still no egg. She has tried to pass it but nothing has come out (tissue has stayed inside!). She is able to poop so that's a good sign. She's not interested in water but is interested in food. However, her crop is the size of a clementine and is pretty firm. I gave her some coconut oil and massaged it upwards but that only resulted in her pooping on my leg. I did not notice a reduction in the size of her crop. I understand that she might be backed up with this bound egg and that it might take a while to empty the crop. I'm not sure if I should just let her do her thing or if there is something else I should be doing to assist her. She did get calcium around 10:30 this morning.
