Snowy Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've had a question from a lady on one of my hen parties and I don't what the answer is! Any help appreciated! One of her hens has been limping for a few days, and today she has managed to catch her and can feel a hot, swollen area just above the joint of the leg. Chicken is well in itself and I have reassured her that it is likely to be a sprain/strain - but is there anything that will ease the symptoms for her? Thank you!

Snowy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thank you, I was thinking along those lines myself but wasn't sure! Is it the normal, homeopathy pills that you get from health food shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes Snowy they are. You can get them from Boots too. 30c is usually the right dose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks Em. Luckily she managed to get through to Omlet who have offered something towards the vets bill (only had them a week) so am just waiting to hear how she got on.
