I think we are leaning more towards surgery since I have been doing all of the tricks I know for egg bound birds (warm baths instead of her normal love of cool ones, steaming, olive oil and more greens than usual). I am mostly looking for stories of surgery because this will be my first avian surgery (other than splinting chicken legs when I was younger). I just want to be prepared and give her the best post op care possible.

The mass is unclear on xray/ultrasound so I am not sure how they would get a biopsy without the surgery unfortunately .

Hi all! My name is Diana and I live in Orange County, CA with my 21 yo CAG Goofy. I have had her since she was an egg and hand fed her myself from 7 days old on. I am currently considering surgery for her because she has a soft mass in her abdomen. She is eating, drinking, defecating as usual and my vet advised this is the most aggressive course but I worry because on her xrays her organs are all squished and there is no clear egg that the vet could see. I trust our vet but would like to hear more about other's experiences so I can be prepared for post op care etc.
