Runner Breathing Kinda Hard

[Aunt Angus]

I don't think Figgy is going to make it.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Oh no from this egg she is trying to lay?

 

[Aunt Angus]

Oh no from this egg she is trying to lay?

Yes. She seems in pain. She is panting and straining.

 

[Aunt Angus]

I have given her calcium 5x in the last 24 hrs. No egg

 

[Miss Lydia]

Wow! have you got her in warm water soak?

 

[Aunt Angus]

Wow! have you got her in warm water soak?

Yes. she's in there now.

The other vet opens at 9. I'll call them, too. Unless they randomly close, too

 

[Aunt Angus]

Wondering about internal laying.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Have you been able to contact the other vet?
if they do xray they should be able to tell.

 

[Aunt Angus]

Well, only other bird vet in my area is no longer treating birds because she's pregnant. We'll have to wait until Monday

Wondering about internal laying.

If you think this could be a a possibility, then you could start treating her with antibiotics.

I would keep her in water most of the time if you can.

I would be tempted to give ibuprofen or aspirin to see if reducing some inflammation would help. I know you it is used with vent prolapses.
