What to give older hens For arthritis

[lilofthestars]

Thank you for that information. Since I put the Nu Stock on her legs and feet she had really slowed down more. It could be a coincidence. According to what aI read Hensler between 5 to 10 years. That’s what I thought according to her age maybe it would be arthritis and she has a pretty large chicken. So there’s a lot of weight walking on her legs and feet lol. But she is so sweet. I definitely don’t want her to be in pain. I gave her about a quarter of an aspirin today. That’s why I was trying to check to see if there’s any buddy that knows anything about arthritis and chickens if they know what to give them. It’s funny because I have chinchillas and that oxbow makes a joint supplements for them. One of my chinchillas is 19 years Thank you

Vets can prescribe meloxicam, and aspirin can be used twice a day for 2-3 days. Rimadyl (carprofen) can also be used. It is a prescription drug.

For inflamation you could feed plantains. She should lose the fat weight. It cause strain on the joints.https://www.timbercreekfarmer.com/what-herbs-keep-chickens-healthy/
