Let's talk about poop!

[Buddythecham]

Hey every one! I took my charm to the vet after we realized she wasn't doing so hot. My poor girl had mad from lack of calcium and trying to make eggs. I have been giving her the medications the vet prescribed. And since then she has not pooped. I got home this morning and she played 2 poops,they looked pretty healthy and normal. Next to her poop was this can anyone tell me what on earth is this!? It smelled terrible and it was super gelatinous ,very soft. Could this be a egg she was trying to pass?

It looks like urate

It almost looks like a urate but something is off. It looks so big and is not in the usual shape of a white deflated cylinder. This is what a normal urate looks like: Poop 101
I am not sure, but you would know if it was an egg because eggs come in a clutch. If there were a lot more little things like this, then perhaps. But since this is the only one (so far) then it is probably just an odd urate. Though, I have never had any experience with malodorous urates.
