You may use 81 mg low dose aspirin given orally twice a day for pain. Meloxicam available from a vet is good for treating pain and inflammation as well. Sorry about your older hen. She could have another problem as well, that is keeping her uncomfortable. Reproductive disorders can cause pain and pressure internally, and sometimes fluid buil up in the lower belly. My rooster who was 8 and died this year, also had arthritis in his legs.

I have a 3 year old rooster with arthritis and he is in pain a lot lately are you supposed to give him the whole pill? It breaks my heart to see how much pain he is in. Also, when did your rooster start getting arthritis?
