Chicken swelling possibly bee sting

[Eden83_haaretz]

Hello everyone, need some help. We've have chickens and bees for several years now and never had problems. But yesterday left the house and when we came back in the afternoon one of our chickens had her face swollen ( there are wasps and Rattlers since we live in the country side, but guessing it's more likely a bee sting) so we gave her some antihistamine (thinking it would work) and went to sleep. Got up this morning and went to check on her and she's at least a little less swollen in her throat but her eyes are almost shut, so did a quick search online and found that antihistamines don't work on chickens. There isn't inyectable meloxicam in the pharmacies, but I do have soluble aspirin, could that work? Any idea on dosage? How soon should we see improvement? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Gave her 83mg of effervescent aspirin (without the fervescense) and I have her locked up. From my experience walking around and activity makes the swelling worst.

Poor girl. Can you see where the spot is/where the stinger is on her?

I guess she must have removed it and most likely was stung in the head, nothing on her feet.

You can try to give her 1/4 benadryl pill and see if that helps.
