Baby aspirin that is truly just aspirin is fine. Just make sure it's not any kind of aspirin substitute. A baby aspirin is 81mg and crushed in a cup of water is about the same strength as five 325 mg regular aspirins in a gallon of water. Gave the smaller batch equivalent since it's one bird and gallon batches are more than what's needed. As you are already doing, wait till the bleeding problem subsides.........

We had two chickens that were attacked by a racoon. We took them to the vet... very expensive - be prepared...

One of them had a laceration from her neck all the way to her backside. The vet sewed her up and gave her some strong antibotics.

The vet said DO NOT EAT HER EGGS FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS! becaue of the antibotics. Racoond he said carry a lot of junk... so the antibiotics are very important!

She is one of the happiest chickens around (and now our friendliest)! We kept her in the house for about a month... she was pretty lethargic for the first week or two. She was so happy to rest in her basket. We just moved her from room to room with us. She seemed to like that.

Birds are tough! Good luck!

Those are bad but she might recover if you watch her closely. If it were mine I would call the chicken doctor; www.firststatevetsupply.com. He can tell you what's best to use and also has meds he can ship quickly. We have used warm saline to gently rinse wounds with; works well, also.
