Pain Meds for Prolapse

[Peaches Lee]

I only came up with a few threads in "search" but from what I read it looks like aspirin. I have a hen with prolapse and she is doing okay so far, but maybe just a little more painful today. She is an excellent patient and her spirits are up, so I was hoping maybe some pain meds could help her cope a little bit more? Thanks for any help!!!

Most of what I've heard and read tells me that pain medicine for chickens is generally not a great idea because of the risks of overdose. I heard that even vets are reluctant to use painkillers on birds because it's so difficult to get the dosage right without killing the bird... perhaps someone else knows more though...
