"pain management:

Your most effective medicine is the meloxicam. Since we still haven’t determined the weight of this bird, please give her some. I’d be comfortable giving her 0.2 ml if she were mine.
I’d give it this morning and again this evening. (12 hrs apart)"

.2 ml is a very small amount. Think drops. Like two drops.

Also meant to add if you have a personal relationship with your vet, (God bless her) maybe you could call and get a callback from her today to discuss this.

I called my vet, she will call me back. What exactly should I ask for? For infection and pain? Do I need anything else?
Besides some tranquilizers for me

Tell her you have a big bobo in a chicken. See what she is willing to offer.

You said she is crying...what does that mean?
The less you mess with her the better.

Is she by herself so no one can pick at her injury?

If she is eating and drinking she is not dying from pain. She is doing good.
