Soft-shelled Eggs!

I answered on your other post, I’ll answer here also in case you don’t see the other.
If sounds like she may be eggbound or have had an egg break internally which can be very dangerous.
Calcium gluconate will help her absorb the calcium she needs the quickest and help her pass the egg.
If it’s broken internally she’ll have to pass the egg remnants asap or a serious infection will begin that will definitely require antibiotics and possibly surgery.

Oh my goodness!! That’s is awful!! Where can I purchase the calcium gluconate?? And is it a powder or a solution? I want to make sure she gets it into her system. Thank you so much for answering so quickly!!!

That’s it!

Perfect!!! Thank you so much! If you believe in the Lord, please pray!!

 

[DuckDuckPromise]

That’s it!

Oh wait!! I didn’t even ask, do I give it by mouth or injection?

I see it says injection, but I wasn’t sure if that’s really how to do it or not (some meds can be given orally?)
I’m headed to TSC and just need to know if I should grab some syringes?

And if so… how in the world do I give a goose a shot?! And where?!

You can give it orally too.

@Miss Lydia @Jenbirdee have more experience with it than I do, I’m tagging them so hopefully they can give you dosing instructions.

Give 1 ml by mouth

Hopefully the Cal glu will help her pass an egg if it's stuck and also pass anything else.
Keep us updated on her please.

Yes you can also give her a lukewarm bath soaking but what is your weather like? I wouldn’t bring a duck in side for a lukewarm bath and then put them back outside if it’s freezing temperatures. You would have to do it gradually sometimes I bring a duck in from the cold and put her in a room that is about 20 to 30° warmer than it was outside before I bring her up to the bathtub where it’s another 20 to 30° warmer then I let her completely dry off and spend some time in the cold room before going back outside. We don’t want temperature shock so just do the calcium gluconate first you can give her one ML a day for a few days.

Honestly I can’t tell you thank you enough!!! I was so confused about the medicine, I just really needed clear answers, and that’s exactly what you gave!! Thank you so much! Please keep praying for her!
I’ll keep y’all posted!
