MJ's little flock

I’m sorry MJ, your thread dropped off my radar for some reason. I hope Janet is feeling better soon. :hugs
I'm sure she will improve from the lincospectin. She has a follow-up on Wednesday. I'm a little worried because there's swelling in her outer eyelid.
 
Janet let me take photos of her bad eye.

First, her good eye.

The other 7 hens are a-ok.

Day 2 of lincospectin is just starting. Her appointment is Wednesday morning. She's moving slower than usual but eating well and has feisty moments. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a headache.
 
Her eye does look very sore 🙁.
If anyone can guide me on pain relief for chickens using meds available in Australia, I'd be very grateful.

I can get ibuprofen, aspirin and paracetamol without a prescription.
Quoting RC. It has been discussed recently on Bob's thread.
The dose for aspirin is 5mg/kg and for ibuprofen it is 5-10mg/kg and you can give it 2-3 times a day.
I managed to get Meloxicam (metacam) without a prescription although it's theoretically not OTC.

Thanks so much MB! Very grateful 🫶
