I remember Sean at EBN described this last year too. basically my understanding is that it's undigested hardend yolk and you need to work it down by kneeding it with your fingers through their digestive tract to get it out. If it doesn't come out, she's gonna die so you really don't have anything to lose by trying.

>>One of the babies had a hard belly and the vendor let me have it for free. He said there was a chance that if I pushed out the hard yolk that she might make it.

>>Has anyone here ever dealt with this problem before? Any info would be awesome.... I really want to give this little girl a shot at life...
