Before surgery, if the binding is caiught early enough, the vet usaually injects hormones to stimulate laying. Might be oxytocin? Hasn't happened to me (hope it never does!).

If the egg is too big to pass, I think there's a way for them to suck some fluid out of the egg to shrink down the size. You lose the egg, but at least you save your leo.
