Chooks Aloud Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Is there an anti-inflammatory that you can buy over the counter that can be administered to a chook? Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am sur someone somewhere said soluble aspirin? Someone as "knows" will be along soon I expect. Metacam is prescribed if you know someone with a cat or dog with arthritis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Arnica pillules from Holland and Barratt work well. A purple tube dosage 30c not the 6c (?) one. A natural way to reduce bruising and inflammation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes, I've tried arnica, just wondered if there was anything else. When I took Dolly to the vet they injected her with a anti-inflammatory so thought there might be something else to use off the shelf instead of racking up a vet bill, if needed in the future.

sandyhas3chucks Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 As they have already used one, perhaps you could phone and ask for some Metacam to be left out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
