| Comments | EGG BOUND NIGHTMARE |
| Well, it is official. Since the 8 eggs she laid as of Sunday, 04/08 (none of which appear viable now), after noticing she is still pretty big, but in different places. I gave her a warm bath & VERY gentle message and I count AT LEAST 5 eggs still in her, and they are VERY FIRM...She is "of course" extremely miserable and she is so sensitive down her body that any slight touch & she jumps like she was hit with 110V
I am now successfully getting her to drink water through an eye dropper, and with-in minutes of being back in her lay box, post bath, she defficated enough to have eaten 2 big rats!! Yet, she has had 1 pinky, back on Mar 13th and mid Feb for a F/T Adult mouse...And I cleaned UP both poops, so I am now REALLY wondering what the H#!! she could be pooping... absorbing the eggs she can't spit out? VERY WORRIED... but not letting her know... I now know tostay CALM and soothing for her.. And it is helping. My PLAN: to repeat the "Morning Baths & message" every day & eye dropper water twice a day, until she gets those eggs out! |
