Retained Egg Aspirated by Vet!
I started this thread a couple weeks ago about a female who retained an egg after laying a bunch of slugs.
After a week and a half it was time to call the vet and have the egg aspirated. Jason Olech of Chicagoland Mobile Veterinary Services performed the procedure and it went really well! She should pass the egg within 48 hours, if not.. surgery might be on the agenda.

They did an ultrasound to get the exact location of the egg.

I'll keep you guys updated! This girl will be on a month of antibiotics to make sure she doesn't get an infection. Can't wait to poke her with more needles...

Thanks for posting this! It's a good learning experience for all breeders. I hope she passes the egg without a problem.
