I hope she lays soon! So sorry this is so stressful for you, just know that you are an awesome parent for doing the right things and taking care of her during this stressful time!
I would take him to the vet. It may be parasites or it could be any of the other various maladies mentioned in previous posts. To be certain, a vet will be able to help...sorry its probably what you were not wanting, but thats the best advice i can give...
