Very soft shelles egg.

This morning got a nice hard shell egg from her, definitely her most perfect egg so far.

Happy to hear that - continue with that dose for the next few days, but no more than a week, or you may see signs of hypercalcemia.

Yippee!!!

Are you going to keep her vet appointment?

Yes!! I want to make sure she is alright, I also got some hard shelled eggs after the 1st round of calcium gluconate supplements but when I stopped they got soft again so I think it's best to have them check her out. Unfortunately they are doing a no-contact thing because of covid so I will not be able to go into the vet with her. They said they will call me while they have her back there while I sit in my car. So that'll be a little weird, but we will see how it goes.

Yeah, that's how it went the last few times I took Thimbleberry to the vet. It feels less complete, but it is better than nothing.

I’m glad to hear she has laid a nice hard shell egg. Getting her check out is a good idea.

My duck has laid a perfectly good egg in the morning and another soft shelled at night. This went on for several weeks, until the past 2 weeks when she lays every other day a soft shelled egg. Just try to keep her comfortable and give her warm baths afterwards. I also feed Little Quack Hydro Hen 3 in 1 by MannaPro after these episodes when she seems to suffer from diarrhea. The vet said the next step for my duck would be a scope, which would require anesthesia, but I have already spent thousands trying to save a goose with a broken leg and my previous duck who had an egg stuck on her ovary. Neither bird every woke up from the anesthesia. So, I have come to accept that sometimes it's up to nature and genetics and it really sucks. I am hoping and praying that your duck is doing better!!!

So I got another nice hard shelled egg this morning from her, but I noticed that if I touch near her butt, she strains like she does when she is trying to push out an egg. She doesn't appear to be struggling unless I touch near her bum, but I think she might still have something in there. Hopefully I'm worried about nothing, I'll give her another dose of the calcium today but not tomorrow unless the vet suggests it.

 

[SolarDuck]

Despite the nice hard shelled egg this morning, it now is pretty clear that she is trying to get another one out.

 

[SolarDuck]

Okay.. After 2-3 hours of struggling I brought her in and put her in the warm tub, almost immediately this "egg" came out. It is quite disgusting. I put it in a ziploc bag and into my fridge so I can bring it with to the vet tomorrow and show it to them. Have you ever seen anything like this @Isaac 0 ???

It came out with this poop, and what looks like another little white piece of whatever the heck that was.
