You got me there... I should hae looked more carefully. Well. I guess we can rule out eggbound. It's just such a shock to see that size of an impaction in a live animal.
Olive oil works very well, but any vegetable oil is fine if you don't have it in.
I just got a pair of rescues who were kept on sand, and they have been crapping out such huge quantities of sand I can't believe it. I'd be concerned that there is already such a block that the bowels can't function, and as far as I know, surgery is the only way to remedy that. If you are lucky though, the warm baths and oil may actually work.
If you save this baby, you deserve a medal.
