My conure laid an egg but can't stand up. What should I do?

Thanks for reaching out about your conure. The bobbing of the tail could be an indication the there is another egg or breathing difficulty. Try taking her into the steamy warm bathroom to see if that will assist in laying an egg. If not, she needs to be presented to veterinarian today. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Kiwi and including a photo. Could she be egg bound? That will often place pressure on the nerves going to the leg. Calcium deficiencies can manifest in bone and/or nerve problems. A radiograph is recommended to assess bone density and if egg bound. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give aid. Removing perches and placing a soft towel on the bottom of the cage can also give comfort. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about your pigeon. Egg binding is a common cause for inability to utilize the legs, if an egg is still in the uterus or has damaged a nerve while passing. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. If can not stand, remove perches and provide a soft towel on which to sit. Ensure that food and water are easily accessible. Review diet to include vitamins and minerals, best in the form of fresh vegetables. Good luck.

She could have another egg stuck in her, it's very common in birds and it is called being egg bound, you will need to take her to an avian vet specialist urgently otherwise she is not likely to survive.

I am sorry karani is not feeling well. I would recommend trying to get her to a vet as soon as possible. My concern would be hypocalcaemia. This is where their calcium is low in there blood stream. Birds are prone to low calcium because they used a lot to make eggs and bone health. I would recommend trying to force feed slowly and add in a calcium supplement. keeping her clam and relaxed is also important

It may be that the egg was actually pushed out of the box as it is not viable. If they will not let you in the box (where there may be other eggs), or the egg is not viable, you can simply remove it. Otherwise, waiting until night when both birds are calmer and quiet may give you a chance to place the egg into the nest.

Monitor Costco for eating and drinking and activity. You will need to try to remove any mating or nesting stimulus to discourage further egg laying. Make sure she is eating a quality pelleted food and has calcium available. If she seems depressed or not eating get her to an avian vet to make sure that she is not egg bound.
