Egg bound chicken - sad update

Recommended Posts

Mona the leghorn was obviously struggling this morning to pass an egg. Rushed to the vet who gave her calcium and oxytocin injections, and I gave her a warm bath for about 20 mins when we got home. I also gave her a dose of nutridrops. I've had to come into work so have left her in a cat box in the house with water, but no food (she was standing, eyes shut, not responding to anything when I left, and breathing very heavily - looking very much like a soon to be ex-chicken). I'm trying to get home as soon as I can to see how she is and perhaps give her another warm bath if there's no egg yet. Anything else I can do for her? I know this isn't my fault but we've also got a crop bound chicken who I can't catch/handle (she's on the maggots and avipro diet!) so I'm feeling pathetically incompetent at the moment. Any advice on how to help Mona with her egg much appreciated.
