Can aspirin ease pain for my chicken?

[Zen Chicken]

One of my backyard Chickens was attacked by a predator Dog and injured.

She survived (so far), but is walking stiffly and is unable to jump to her normal perch.


Following your advice, I used some of my own experience and ingenuity to help ease her suffering. Thanks so much for the advice on easing pain for my Chicken.

My method was to crush approx. 1/8 of an aspirin in a small glass bowl, I contacted a friendly neighbor who provided me with some Marijuana flakes (I live in a State where it was recently legalized), I stirred the Aspirin and Marijuana into about 1/2 teaspoon of fresh cooked rice. She ate a portion of the rice coated with Aspirin and Marijuana then I put her in a private box to rest by herself. She seems to be responding well to this mixture.


Thanks Again

Hope your chicken is feeling better. You may want to treat her with some Duramycin-10 antibiotic for infection. I lost another hen, Big Bird, just before Memorial Day due to infections inside. The Duro 10 helped one time but finally she was overwhelmed with the internal egg laying process and she passed away. She was about 6 years old. Are you from Oregon? Ii was born and raised there, just recently moved to Idaho. I know Oregon was one of the medical Marijuana states and actually was going to try some for my degenerated discs and back pain full of arthritis but never got around to it.

I'm in Western Washington State.

I have friends and family in the Grants Pass area of Oregon.

Thanks for the advice on Duramycin-10 antibiotic for infection, I will check for local availability.

My poor Chicken "Sparkle" seems to be feeling a bit better today. She is still walking a little stiffly, but she managed to get to her Perch tonight, and looks a little more perky than yesterday.

I wasn't sure if she would make it through the night?

Thanks Again
