So glad it turned out okay! Take it easy.
I have the heating pad set up.Breathe, slow deep breath. the more freaked out you are, the more freaked out Bonnie will be. Do you have heating pad? and some type of thermometer? if so, get the heating pad warmed up, place the thermometer on top of the heating pad. it should read 95 to 100 dregrees. wrap the cage except the front panel with saran wrap plastic, tape it in place. put in a food dish on the floor, a jar cap will work for the food, make sure it's washed and dried. another jar cap washed and clean, for water. put a low perch in near the floor. place the cage on the heating pad, and cover with a dark blanket or towel. Cuttlebone, grate some of the white soft parts into the food. at least 1 teaspoon worth. you can use clean butter knife to scrape at the cuttlebone. keep her quiet and very warm until you can get to the vet. i would go to the vet in the morning ASAP. JMO.
do not put her back in with the other birds.

good the stronger she is, the better. i lost a budgie from being egg bound. she was not strong enough to fight. watch over her keep her as comfortable as possible. JMO, i would check on her every 2 hours.I have the heating pad set up.
My Bonnie is a fighter.
I will definitely be keeping a close eye on her. I'm trying to watch over her, but at the same time let her rest. I can't imagine how exhausted she is.good the stronger she is, the better. i lost a budgie from being egg bound. she was not strong enough to fight. watch over her keep her as comfortable as possible.

Just got a text from my boss. She's going to pay me for tomorrow, even though I'll be at the vets as a Christmas gift. One less thing to worry about.
Do you think it's possible the soft shell one was a result of her laying two eggs in the span of half an hour? I imagine it was quite a strain on her little body to have two eggs instead of just the one.The soft shelled egg is a gigantic concern. Your vet will most likely recommend a direct calcium injection which is what she really needs. The next soft egg could be the death of her. Of course you need to get more calcium (diet) in her but right now she is in a depleted condition and diet is not enough to fix the immediate problem.
