I think this is absolutely possible as well and I think the direction the vet is thinking as well. We have had soft shelled eggs laid before. I have only seen her poo small, liquidy amounts but she also isn't eating much. What can be done with a soft egg "stuck" inside?I wonder if she is bound with a soft shelled or shell-less egg. I only have experience with chickens, but I know that it is difficult and eventually impossible for them to poop when egg bound--but if the egg is soft, fecal matter can still exit, though it'll be watery and in smaller quantities. When my hens have had trouble passing a soft or thin shelled egg, it is often accompanied by a bloated crop (which goes down once the egg has passed). I've also found a bloated crop to be associated with egg yolk peritonitis, which in one of my chicken's cases, was diagnosed by a vague mass in an x-ray.
So, what's her poop looking like?
