Well the past two nights have been stressful to say the least. I forgot I didn't post on here.. went straight to pming Tracie.. but 2 nights ago Eevee started straining.. and kept straining for a couple hours at least.. around her vent was super swollen.. and she was near prolapse.. I had put her in the bath and that's where we stayed.. me rubbing her belly, applying olive oil around her vent, and holding her tail up for her until finally she was able to pass this monster double egg!! It was a tough battle. I almost couldn't take it anymore!! Was seconds away from breaking down into tears before she finally got it out.. then she was fine.. here's some pics .

Last night.. same story.. although it wasn't as bad.. she pushed for maybe 15mins.. and as soon as I put her in bath water she passed another 2 eggs at the same time. They weren't as fused together as the first night.. but still connected.
The weird part is that she's fine other then having trouble pushing them out. But she doesn't dig, she still eats it's like she has no idea what she's supposed to do and can only get them out if I help her.
I know if the eggs are fused together like they are that could be a sign of calcium deficiency but I really don't think that's a possibility the vet told me her calcium levels were fine before and since then I've been giving her liquid and powder calcium. I just don't understand why she won't dig her nest and attempt to lay them all at once. It's a repeat of last time except Shes not sick like she was. I will probably have to find a new vet but money is tight and I know if I go to a new vet I'm going to have to pay for new blood tests new x-rays new diagnosis and treatment.. none of this is fair.
My big question for right now at least is what do I do if she ends up completely prolapsing while trying to push one of them out? Because that was my biggest fear the other night. I will keep you guys posted.
