can my rooster have ibuprofen?

[ChickenGeek_101]

so today my chickens desided to go out in to the road, while i was unawear of it my big rooster who is about a year and half, got hit. i dont think its very bad, biggest thing is his left leg. he cant hardly stand on it.
i am going to keep him in the house for a few days so i can keep an eye on him.

so my question is, can i give him ibuprofen for the pain?

You can give them Tylenol tablets, not sure about iuberpofin(butchered that)

Tylenol should be okay

I’ve heard stern no’s to ibuprofen...
someone on this thread below suggested aspirin! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-kind-of-pain-meds-can-you-give-chickens.374821/

Have you checked whether it's broken?
Do you have any way of getting him to a vet for proper painkillers, an exam, and treatment of whatever's wrong?

1/2baby aspirin (81mg) every 4-6 hours. Stuffed in a kernel of canned corn or a grape. IBU is too hard on their liver. You need to be very careful. If he was hit by a car and has internal injuries aspirin could make things go terribly wrong (internal bleeding).
If his leg is injured crate him. Limit him from walking on it. Confine him to a small place. I would do this first to see if rest and staying off it helps.

Can you take pics of his wounds?

Yes, Ibuprofen can be given. I'm dont know the dosage for chickens.

Ibuprofen yes.. my vet confirmed this.
Children’s ibuprofen, .23 ml/lb up to 3x/day
Give at least morning and night, three times a day if you can.

My avian vet also prescribed ibuprofen. Unfortunately, I don’t have a record of the dosage, but there is a post with a link from casportpony on one of my threads (about my Brown Leghorn, Margo) from this summer... I’ll see if I can find it.
