911! Need help!

[mues155]

Ok so I got back from camping to find my big girl like this.
She laid eggs on may 30.
Looks like she's prolapsed and seems to be a small hard egg shaped thing in the cage.
Before anyone replies "take it to a vet" yes I realize that. But a vet herp vet is 3 hours away and who knows if I can get in tomorrow. So I need some advice for what to do for now.
Any help is appreciated...so far I've just tried soaking her in warm water.

She's now trying to pass an egg. Seems like there may be two inside her.
Her cage looks horrible, she's oozing a substance from her cloaca. It's kind of runny but clear.
She's managed to get like this in 2 days of me being gone. Her cage was clean when I left.

Looks like a messy situation. I've never dealt with anything like that, but I personally would try to gently massage the eggs out. If that didn't work, since the egg is pretty exposed, I would try to pop it with a needle, draw the fluids out and hope it passes and that the 2nd one works its way down. That is of course if I couldn't get a vet appointment ASAP. I'm not recommending you do this, nor do I know if you would be comfortable with it...just what would run through my mind and what I would see as a relatively minor risk compared to just leaving her be.

hmm, maybe try putting her in a tub with warm water to help pass the eggs and gently massage the area to help?

She's still in the warm water, if I touch her she sucks the egg back into her body. I'm going to try to just leave her in there a while and hope she passes it...it's gonna be a loooong night

Well I managed to get two hard eggs out of her, there's a third but it's much smaller and doesn't seem to want to move into sight of her cloaca. I'll give het a breakand see if I can get the last one out.

That's great so far Adriane! Hopefully the last one will come out soon.

Just out of curiosity, did it cross your mind to cut into the eggs?

Wow that must have be a really tense experiencr, hope your girl is okay. Best wishes, keep us updated. Hopefully that third egg gets passed naturally.

The two eggs that came out look healthy? Or are they completely solid. So far shes done pretty well it looks like. If she passes that third egg and then seems to go back to normal i would say a trip to the vet isnt necesarily needed but only you can really be the judge of that.

Keep us updated!
