it doesn't feel like it's by her vent it feels like her stomach but now I think I feel an egg and she's laying with her legs out and her butt in the ground. She just woke up and is trying to eat i put Gatorade and vitamins in the water and food and she is trying to have it and she's like pretty shaky but she's practically sitting her butt down on the ground like I said.. I think it IS egg bound??

Rose.....get a large enough bowl of warm water.....not hot, and let her sit in this, it helps dilate the vent, and ease in the pain. Do this for at least 15 minutes. Then take her out keep her warm. Use a bit of honey in water for her drink, not cold water, but luke warm, this will boost her energy level and metabolism which will help push out the egg and make the vent muscles work faster. My wife here is an assistant vet, so I'm typing what she's telling me to do.

Rose, Don't hesitate to try that technic a couple times, like once an hour. Your bird sounds egg bound. One clear cut sign is the bird may not want to walk and prefers to want to lay on it's side as if struggling. She's trying to take the pressure off her bottom/vent/ stomach area...it's more comfy for her. Don't force her though.
Next don't give up on the warm water sit baths....hold her in both hands lowered in the water, warm but not hot, and massage very gently her vent area and the area up farther toward her stomach. Continue to offer her honey and warm water.
This is the best home remedy under the circumstances....You can't lose a bird on my watch !
