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

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

My aviary female yellow sided conure was egg bound for 24 hours but she's had the egg now but still can't stand up she's eating and drinking fine, we are feeding her calcivet. Will she come good? Or is it more serious?

It's very hard to tell, she would need to be taken to an avian vet specialist to get calcium injections, SC fluids and also have an xray done to make sure no damage has been done and that no more eggs are inside her.
