Fingers and toes crossed for her! xComment

actually i was always told never to give aspirin to animals as it can make them worse and quite ill ... paracetamol or an anti inflammatory are better ... just watch the dosageOriginally posted by Nicos View PostAspirin can cause more bleeding in the brain- it'll be a 'bleeding stroke' rather than a'clot stroke'
...if it is indeed a stroke!Comment

I had a lame hen after a fox attack. After 5 days saw the vet as it didn't seem to be improving. Was told to wait and she did recover. It was a soft tissue injury caused in the panic and chaos of the attack. Give her time, I am sure she will gradually improve (unless it was a stroke.)Comment

Aspirin can be given to animals but the dosage is ultra important. For example it is recommended as part of a first aid kit for dogs if you had no other access to painkillers. Vomiting is a side effect and stomach ulcers can occur with long term use (which, if it was only used in emergency would probably not occur).
I've compiled kits for gundogs and found this listed in the vet Randy Acker's guide.

Good news. It sounds as if it is maybe concussion instead of stroke plus a sprained leg?If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing to excess

keep going keep her warm, quiet and well fed.
I give my poorly hens wax worms or mealworms - good protein and some nice fat! boiled rice/pasta lovely for carbs. Obv I still give the layers but hey ho if they are not so keen whilst ill, then usually these sorts of foods act as a kickstart.Comment
