Can a 2 year old Coturnix Quail take aspirin 81 mg?

[NinjaGamer2022]

I have a sweet 2 year old Coturnix quail hen, that horrible long story short, needed her leg amputated.
The bleeding seems to have stopped (I held her for about 20 mins holding the would with cornstarch).
She is panting a bit here and there, can I safely give her any pain meds?
Thank you for your time.

No, do not give her aspirin. It is a blood thinner and can cause internal bleeding in birds.

Check with a vet for quail safe pain killers.

There aren't any good options for bird analgesics (NSAIDs), the doses are so tiny and their metabolism is so high (short effect) that you'd pretty much have to give it constantly to have a significant effect and hope not to overdose and certain drugs can have lethal consequences or haven't been studied (I wanted to give flunixin meglumine (banamine)) to my clostridium birds but apparently that is a big no-no in quail! I love it in cattle and horses with toxin producing bacterial infections but it does bad things to quail. Once her foot heals over it shouldn't be too painful and short term, controlling and minimizing stress is your best option.
