Rooster lame

[chrissiemids]

Hi, my rooster was a bit too amorous and injured his leg. It isn't broke as he occasionally moves it up and down. He can't put weight on it. I've strapped it with vet wrap for support and put in coop alone. I've read that infant ibuprofen can be given orally, but what dose? Rooster is roughly 5lbs in weight.

Quick search, I found dosing for Ibuprofen....

I gave my 5lb rooster a 1ml dose 3 times a day. So far good.
