YAY!!!! Of course I'm stuck at work right now, so the rest of my day is gonna go by so very slow, but I'm so relieved that she's at home! Vet said that she still hasn't passed the shell & it could be days, weeks or even months before she does, if she does at all. I spoke to him this am & he said that we could put her on birth control but that was a very expensive route to go. We don't want to do any kind of surgery on her unless it's absolutely needed. Of course if we don't do anything, the same thing could happen again. So who knows. The most important thing right now is SHE'S HOME!!!

Tina, I'm so glad she is home! What happens to the shell if she doesn't pass it? Does her body just reabsorb it?

I'm glad she's home! Hopefully she'll pass that egg with no problems.

Tina, I am happy she is back home where she belongs-with her loving mommy!

It'll reabsorb the minerals & calcium from the shell, but it won't reabsorb the whole thing. & since the vet found what he thinks is what's left of a different egg, he thinks that's what had her so bound up this time but not sure. And there's no guarantee that it won't happen again. He was going to do surgery on her when we had brought her up, but he was able to break the egg & get the contents out. The shell had collapsed in on itself so he wasn't able to grab it without actually doing the surgery. At this point, I'm not sure what we're gonna do, he told us that university hospital in Manhattan would be better able to help us if we needed more help than what they can do there in Topeka. I hope it doesn't have to come down to surgery on her, I just don't think I could handle the stress of having her go thru that. Course I don't want her to go thru this again either. Randy & I'll prob talk about it this afternoon when I get home. 2 more hours to go!!!

I'm glad she's home! Sure hoping that all turns out well, thoughts and hugs to you and Buddette.
