Hen with injured leg! Dislocation? Help!

[Tookie]

This morning I found her sitting on a shell less egg that came open, so I gave her another bath cause she was all dirty. I also gave her some calcium. I gave her the aspirin too.

Hope she starts feeling better soon.

That's a good follow up. The protozoan infections mess with nutrient absorption.

Is she walking better since she expelled the shell less egg?

I agree, giving Calcium for a few days is a good idea.

She seems to be doing a bit better, she was standing up quite a bit today.

But, this evening I found worms in her droppings! I think they could be roundworms, am I right? I don't have any dewormer at the moment, but I'll get some tomorrow. I usually use safegaurd goat dewormer, will that work? I have been wanting to deworm the flock for awhile.

Spoiler: Worms

Yes, I think so! She did seem to move around more today.

Ok, will do!

Yes, that's a Roundworm.
Safeguard will work.

Glad she's doing a little better.

Okay, thanks! What else can I use to deworm incase I can't get the goat dewormer?
Oh, must the Safegaurd I get be specifically for goats? Just something I've wondered!

The three hens I thought had bumble foot and treated for, I removed the wrapping off them today. One is fine and not limping, one was limping a tiny bit but seems better now, and one was limping quite a bit but not too too badly. *Sigh*, you learn from your mistakes! I suppose I should have asked you all before I did anything.
I just hope the one hen is alright tomorrow and doesn't end up like my Cocoa (Original limping hen.). If she's limping worse tomorrow, should I treat her like I am Cocoa?

You can use Safeguard liquid goat dewormer or equine paste - both are the same dosing.

If you can't get Safeguard, then Valbazen (Albendazole) would be a very good choice. Usually you have to order it online.
