Carprofen Dosage for Rooster

[Mebrou]

Hello, can anyone tell me the proper dosage/mg for an average sized rooster (approximately 5-6lbs)? I’m seeing conflicting information and would hate to over/under dose. Thanks in advance!!

@Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive Hi! Please help!

Most of the links I have seen say dosage for chickens is 5-10mg per kilogram (each 2.2 pounds of weight.) The dosage is in this article pads 3:

This link gives a lower dose:

Thank you, both! I may just do something in between the recommendations referenced in the two articles. I have a large bumble kernel/scab on my boy’s foot I need to work on and I prefer to keep him as comfortable as possible.
