Aseel breed rooster injured and in very bad condition

Is it OK to give dicloran or I have to mix it with benzyl penicillin.And I have given him 2 injections last night for Vitamins so it will be ok if I give him Dicloran injection today ?

I'm not familiar with the medications you are mixing with the penicillin, so I don't know. If it were me, I would just give him the three day injections of PenG and skip the pain medicine. Vitamin and mineral supplements would be ok, but I think the pain meds could be hindering him or affecting him adversly. If the wound still looks infected, a topical antibiotic should be ok.

After looking it up, I would not give the bird Dicloran. It may be causing his problems. I don't see any reason to give it to him in the first place.

Dicloran is an NSAID I believe, and probably should not be used. Aspirin is probably the only safe pain med for chickens. When you stitched up his wound he could have had an over growth of anaerobic bacteria in the wound. It could be resistant to the penicillin. You seem to know a lot about medicines, so I would switch him to an antibiotic for penicillin resistant bacteria. Perhaps doxicycline? Also if his wound had any E.coli in it, that can travel easily through the air sacs, and would be very difficult to ever fully treat. Hope you can help him.

After giving him penicillin (its not penicillin G but its Benzyl Penicillin 500'000 i.u and i dont know if both are same.its in a powder form and i mix neurobin inj with it and inject it to birds thigh.I gave this and methycobal mixed with Benzyl penicillin 500'000 i.u. I gave methycobal+penicillin once only and gave neurobin+pencillin 2 nights and dicloran just once and will give the last shot of neurobin+penicillin tonight as the bird is eating and looking refreshed and is crowing but its crown changed to a dark color.

Still waiting for expert response.

There are no veterinarians on this site--only people who own chickens who like to help people. I'm sure someone out there may know your answer, but most of us have hobby chickens. BYC has a few vets that belong to the site, but most don't post a lot.
