I just came home from vacation, and I noticed Snowy's poop is VERY big, like 10+ times her normal size. Some weeks before vacation, I started to notice hormonal/nesting behaviour in her, so I decided to do something(long overdue): isolate her and Sunny from the males to prevent breeding and hormonal behaviour. I only let her out with the males if I'm in the bird room.
Her vent is swollen, and her poops are 10+ times her normal size, and her breathing became even more laboured than usual(she has a breathing issue)... my mom is going to try arrange a vet visit tomorrow(we can't arrange one today because it is Sunday) just to make sure that:
1. It is an egg, and not a blockage
2. If it is an egg, that she isn't egg bound
3. She also has a breathing issue that needs to be seen by a vet(for the third time!!)
Is there anything I need to know? If she does lay eggs, is it OK if I give her a nest, and take the eggs out(if unfertilized) one by one and replace with fake eggs, until she has no interest in them?
Here are some pics of her vent..(sorry that I held you so badly Snowy)
TIA for any help.
Edit: for more info, snowy is a female budgie who is about 1 year 9 months (I got her in august 2020 at about 4 weeks)
