my skye bird is at angell memorial. she had her lupron shot there sunday and weighed 39 grams so we knew she had an egg. then she didn't pass it. we put her in the bathroom with lots of humidity & warmth & massaged her tummy & oiled her vent & gave her egg food but still, no egg.
yesterday we took her to angell. she wasn't fluffed on the cage floor or holding herself odd but we knew she should have laid that egg & we couldn't find one anywhere.
they gave her a shot of calcium & put her in the humidity cage & rubbed her belly through out the day but she still hasn't laid. they are giving her another shot tomorrow.
there are 2 procedures they are thinking of if she doesn't pass the egg tomorrow. one is a shot that will loosen her egg laying sphincter. the other is a hollow needle that will suck all the liquid from the egg and then they will crush the shell inside her and she will pass it over a series of days.
i was so sure she would pass the egg if only she had the calcium. that was the only thing we didn't have this time - the calcium syrup for her water.
dr. orcutt says we're stopping the lupron shots. they just can't compete with 7 gorgeous budgie boys.
i don't want any procedures operations rehomings i want my skye bird i want skye home on bervie's shoulder where she belongs
please keep a happy thought for my pretty girl
