Chicken attached by Dog -Leg injury maybe? What do I do? How do I isolate the leg?

[Basia St Clair]

Please help.

I posted prior that my Silkie Rooster (Cal) was attached by a dog and walking all wobbly. Chicalina recommended I look Cal over more thoroughly and i just did that.

Its been 3 hours. there appears to be no injuries except to his right leg. It looks like maybe a hip issues. There are no injuries to the leg itself. Just when he puts weight on that side he falls over and uses his wing to stabilize himself. Should i wrap the leg? What should i do. What if its dislocated?

Please help!!!!

Pls take pics of the leg. Isolate the chicken. I would make a sling thing for injured legs.

Hard to see in the picture but thats his right leg out forward in front of him and his right wing extended... How do i splint a chickens leg? Or make a sling? Can i upload a video?

Can you tell what part of the leg might be injured? Clearer pictures might help.

I tried to get clearer pictures but its just me and its hard to hold him and take pictures. I have a video but not sure how to upload it. I made a splint and put it on him best i could. He fought me, so maybe a good sign?. I cant tell whats broke. It seems its dislocated at the hip, best i can figure. There are no breaks. He keeps throwing the leg forward in front of him. Thanks for the help.
