Holy cow. She's full.

Those calcified bits near the end worry me. Is she bright alert responsive? Active? Well hydrated? My concern would be at what point we work on expelling the slugs without causing further harm (i.e. oxytocin, etc.) Calcium & fluids should help in the meantime. Any thoughts on a cloacal approach? (Lubrication?) Any pain management being employed at this point? I'd worry this poor girl is so sore from the fractures she may be averse to "pushing". I've got dosage ranges for common pain meds that you likely have access to, but I'd rather not post them on a public forum. Feel free to drop me a line privately if you'd like that info. Good luck!
