I have this aspirin

Thank you do much for your reply, the vets around here and just useless, they didn't even know what antibiotics to give here and as it had just happened they didn't advise it, I've not used the iodene but the leucillin was advised which I managed to source and been through for it just, I'll try and take a close up of what it says, I've also put avigold in her water, to be honest the vets seemed uninterested and I didn't want to stress her out even more, so I asked if some point tomorrow they would just at least take a look, I don't care if she cost me £1000 I love my girl and she's worth every penny, she seems comfortable warm and drinking fine but still no food I've put some veggies through the blender and trying her with that and I thought maybe a warm mash?

Have you got a can of tuna on hand? I’d try giving her that... right now, she just needs to drink and rest, as she’s probably still in shock. If she doesn’t want food, I wouldn’t force food until at least tomorrow morning, just make sure she has some feed available and within reach in case she does get hungry.

Sorry about the vets being trouble... you’re doing what you can and i think you’re doing great.

Thank you so much I've posted more pics of what I've got for her she does have a flap of skin yes, View attachment 2043844

If you can clean her wound and the flap and push it back over the wound, it may stick and heal over that way. That’s what I did with my hen when she was ripped open, I slathered it all in Neosporin after cleaning, bandaged it, and left it. About once a day I applied Neosporin around the edges to keep it moistened, and she was back out with the flock in two weeks.

A warm mash sound helpful.
I thought of a possibility you could try. Maybe stop by several vets and just show the pictures to them, or a technician, and see what they recommend for cleaning and dressing the wounds. Tell them you did not want to stress her by the trip and just need some advice, since you were already told they could not stitch her up.
Like in the US, they probably would need to see her to prescribe antibiotics of any strength.
However many skin cleaning solutions and topical creams, at least here in the US, can be over the counter purchases.
It's a possibility.

Thank you everyone I'm beside myself she's my baby and such a sweetie, I'm going to look up all the ideas you have given me and could someone tell me if the aspirin I have us OK and a quarter someone said? I do have some cbd cream it's fabulous stuff and very expensive I also have some sos cream I personally think the leicillin spray I've just got maybe the best?

Greetings rosemarysugar,

I use aspirin for my chickens. A chicken can safely have up to 120 mg. of aspirin a day. I use a low dose 81 mg. tablet, which I split in half for a 40 mg. dose.

The single 40 mg. dose is for a standard size chicken. A bantam should have 20 mg. for a single dose.

And you can safely administer 3, 40 mg. doses per day, for a standard size chicken.

However, do take into account that aspirin can irritate the intestines, if used long term (more than 3 days). To avoid this, follow with food as a buffer.

Do not use aspirin if there is active bleeding.

Do not mix aspirin with Carprofen, or Ibupropfen as there is a drug interaction, in chickens.

I hope this was helpful.

God Bless

I would use a half an aspirin since yours are 75mg

If you can just pop it into her mouth and ensure she eats it, that might work (I’m not sure, someone comfirm or deny please). Or crush it and add it to some water, and ensure she drinks it.

Very sorry that your hen was severly injured. Honestly, because of such deep and extensive wounds, I am not sure that she will survive, even if you had good vet care. It looks like we can see internal organs, and she has lost so much skin and fat that cover her thigh that Inam not sure that could heal. I would consider putting her down if she appeara to be suffering.
