I have an egg bound ex battery bird. Probably about 3 yo. Have given liquid paraffin and lubricated vent. No joy. Today, sat her in some warm water to relax the muscles. Still no joy. She is very poorly (isolated and in a warm place) Massaging the area, however gently is obviously very painful so I think trying to get in to get the egg is just not going to work. Before I knock her on the head I thought I would try to see if I could find any other solutions - just wondered if anyone had successfully used any homeopathic treatment on this problem.
