Personally, I would. But I would only give it to her once a day for about a week. She clearly doesn't seem to need the calcium for the egg shell. But she may need it for proper contraction of vent muscles. She may still have issues with her next egg, or none at all.
 
Update!

Figgy is laying like a champ again! The calcium gluconate made the difference. I will make sure I have a bottle on hand from now on.

Also - the lanolin seems to be helping tremendously. Figgy's feet feel much softer. The cracked skin is definitely healing. I've started putting it on all of my ducks' feet, and I'm seeing benefits after just a few days. I'm going to start putting it on my chickens' legs and come, too.

Just plain lanolin? did you buy it at the feed store?
Great to hear Figgy is laying like a champ.

It's 100% lanolin. I got it at a health food store in the next town over, but I imagine anything that's lanolin-based would work (& probably be less expensive). I was thinking bag balm or udder balm would be good, too. I could take pics of her feet, buy it's the texture that's so improved.
