When our lab had an eggbound hognose, they inserted a large gauge needle with a syringe attached through her abdomin into the egg and "drained" it. After that was drained we soaked her in warm water and watched constantly for the next 24 hours. She passed the punctured egg and the remaining two eggs in tact.



I would recommend discussing this with your vet, not trying to administer it yourself. It is only one option of many, I am sure. Basically, get her to a vet asap.
