Before anyone says anything, I do not have an avian vet in my province.
My cockatiel started laying eggs earlier this week. She laid one one day and the following day laid another. They both broke and the shells were extremely soft. I cleaned up all the area and did everything I could to prevent her from laying. Things were fine and then yesterday she sat on my chest for cuddles and laid another one right there. I figured I'd give her a box and let her go through the ritual since trying to avoid it wasnt' working. She never bothered with the egg and seemed okay.
Then today she is sleepy and not eating. She is drinking but her poops are runny and kind of like a tan color instead of the green. I presently have her in a fish tank with a heating pad. I've given her pedialyte and handfed her some baby food. I even crushed up some cuttlebone and gave her that with her pedialyte.
I did check her and she is not egg bound. There is no egg in her pelvic area at all.
I am not sure what to do with her. I have no avian vet in my province.
Any suggestions?
