Baby aspirin

[minichicks05]

I just did surgery on one of my chickens she had a bad case of bumble foot. She seems to be in pain. I bought some baby aspirin. does anyone know what are the doses for it. it is the orange flavored chewable kind, is that ok to give her?

Ibuprofen is actually preferable to aspirin. Typical dosage is (1) 200mg tablet, crushed, and mixed with two cups drinking water.

Really I read that Ibuprofen can actually kill a chicken?

It's a common misconception. I've spoken specifically to my avian vet (who is highly regarded in her field) in this subject and while both have some minor risks, ibuprofen is safer.
