Egg bound following fox attack

Hi

I'm currently caring for two hens that have survived a fox attack.

One is physically fine but the other, Annabella, was grabbed by the tail end.

She has a pierce wound on her side and grazes around her tail, she is very bruised.  She saw the vet on Wednesday evening who prescribed tylan (antibiotic) but also noted that she had an egg ready to lay, she hasn't passed the egg yet and now there is another right behind it!!

What can i do to help her? her vent appears very tight

 

i was going to lubricate with vegetable or olive oil using a small medicine syringe... is this OK?

Should i lubricate before or after bath, or both??

Thanks

That is good news.  If she hasn't laid by the morning I would use the lubrication first and then the warm bath.  She may lay her egg in the bath as it will help her relax.  Fingers crossed for her.   

Only thing I can suggest is another warm bath as long as she was not stressed by it.
