A fox got into our run and hurt our Rooster before the dogs scared him off. I'm worried about Henry

[Carol Whitman]

It looks like Henry has a broken wing and a sore leg. He is hobbling around, still eating and even saw him mount a hen. It's been about a week but I'm worried about him. He's not getting worse but not getting better. Is there anything I can give him or do to make him feel better.

Hi Carol and welcome to BYC. Sorry to hear about your little fella. I'd suggest including pics if you can and posting on the ER forum for the best advice:

Has he had any sort of treatment?

I'd take a good close look for puncture wounds and breaks. wing breaks in particular can be very tricky and lead to run away infections. pictures of the actual sites of injury would be very helpful.
