Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Looks like you will have trouble getting a small enough dose for him. @Ponypoor pointed out that a human dose is like 10X of what you need to give him.

I think he is a bantam is he not? So likely not even 2kg, that would be close to 4.5lb

He isn’t getting anything from me until I’m sure that the dose is correct!

Bantam.. yes , but he thinks he’s super chicken!

Capsules emptied onto a digital scale for small amounts. You are looking to get likely 10% of the human dose assuming a 2kg chicken.
I know, not easy - which is why aspirin is much easier!
I think it is relatively safe so if you go a bit over not a big deal.

Also, if you only have tablets you can crush them then use a Credit card to divide and weigh it out. I had ferrets for quite a few years and like chickens your mostly on your own with vet care. I learned alot about dosing tiny animals. This worked quite well.

What do you actually have available at home to give him for pain?
I fear you may be better off not giving him anything tonight and getting baby aspirin in the morning - most pharmacies should have it.

182 over 92 . Pulse rate way too high. After all, she’s a very cute veterinarian (just saying)

Probably why my pulse jumped so high

Yea that is rather high, take a deep breath and let it out slowly do this 4 times then redo your bp.

Stop drinking so much coffee, and eat properly! Go for a brisk walk and do some aerobic exercise. Lots of online stuff you can follow along with.

Your chooks will thank you for this.

Yes - I have done that too - crushing and eyeballing dividing it in half and half again and again and again.
It is probably pretty inaccurate but sometimes all you can do.

A nail file to chip off small pieces works well too
