My baby crow has splayed leg: Is Meloxicam/Neuroqik dosage safe?

Question

Hello. I wanted to ask the dosage for these 2 medicines. They are for a baby crow with splayed leg. The first medicine is Neuroqik and the other is Meloxicam. The doctor I asked asked me to give 10 drops from Meloxicam for today and 5 drops twice a day from tmr onwards , which I feel like is too much for a baby crow. Neuroqik's dosage was prescribed to be 0.5 ml twice daily. Is this prescription correct? Pet's info: Bird | Wild Bird | Male | neutered

Thanks for reaching out about Kageyama and including photos. Splayed legs on young birds usually need to be placed in hobbles, to allow adductor muscles to strenghten, thereby holding the legs underneath. Unless there is curvature of the bones, those need to be splinted. The meloxicam is usually dosed depending on body weight and concentration of the medications. More information is needed to properly assess. Good luck.
