Hen with injured leg! Dislocation? Help!

[Tookie]

Paste is fine. Dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days to treat Roundworms only. Give for 5 days in a row if you want to treat Roundworms and other worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm.

I think I’ll do the 5 day treatment to be on the safe side.

That's what I'd do.

 

[Tookie]

That's what I'd do.

Then once all my other hens are done molting I’ll do the same for them.

If I’m deworming Cocoa at a different time before the rest of the flock, I won’t need to treat her again right? In case she’d come back into contact with the worms…does depend on when I put her back with the flock I suppose.
Oh, and she seems to be better today, she’s walking around and using her leg more.

No, you shouldn't have to deworm her again.

I'm glad she's walking better. You are giving her extra Calcium for a few days too right?

Okay, great.

Yes, I am.
She hasn't laid an egg yet since the shell less one.

 

[Tookie]

Cocoa laid an egg today, it was a nice perfect one!
I gave her her second dose of dewormer tonight, and more calcium.
She seems to be more confident in trying to use her leg and walking around more, but she doesn't put it down on the ground and just hops. She does seem to stand on it though.

Go Cocoa!

Sounds like she's improving a little day by day, hopefully the leg issue will resolve itself soon.

How much longer should I do the aspirin? I started giving it to her Thursday morning.

I would stop the Aspirin and see how she does.

Alright, sounds good!
