One of my females (Skedaddle) started acting weird around 6ish today (or yesterday, I guess). She was sitting at the bottom of their cage, fluffed a little bit. She flew a little bit, but was uncoordinated, and when she chirps (which is rarely now), it sounds a lot weaker than usual. I tried calling some vets, but none were open, and no emergency clinics nearby care for exotics like 'keets. Someone told us it could be egg binding. We have her on a heating pad on the floor and have been giving her warm water and massaging her vent with olive oil. Her belly is swollen and her vent is starting to get bigger. Is this egg binding, or is she just passing an egg slowly?! Please help!

EDIT: She's eating a little bit, too. She's trying to act more active, but from the chirps she gives off every once in a while, she's hurting. She doesn't poop often like she should, but when she does, it's misshapen and watery.

Somebody please help! I don't know what to do anymore!! We've tried calling every vet in our area, but none of them can help. The egg is closer to her vent now but it's obviously stuck. I don't want to lose my little girl!! frown

Anything yet willow?? Have you been able to locate an Avian vet? Any vet in your area should have the name and number to your nearest Avian vet. As you know eggbinding is life threatening and must e treated immediately for best outcome.
You can try taking her in to a steamy bathroom, or warm baths sometimes helps muscles to relax enough to pass egg.

LIQUID calcium should be given asap if you can get some?? VERY important

Best of luck.Please keep us posted
