Because he was healthy prior to attack,it is possible he has some type of leg/hip injury which may be a result of attack or he may have injured himself while being confined. First keep him inside home in some type of cage,use towels on floor of cage to help with traction,make sure he has close/easy access to food/water,meaning that he does not have to walk to reach feed/water containers.Do not place any roosts in cage,you may have to roll a towel up into a donut shape and place him in center to take body weight off leg/hip or even t-shirts used as slings can help with this. Provide him with additional heat b/c when birds are ill/injured they cannot regulate their body temp and are susceptible to hypothermia. I would give him vitamins(polyvisol infant drops without iron,2 drops a day on side of beak so they roll into mouth) Try adding warm water to feed so it resembles oatmeal or warm oatmeal with a little honey,pablum can also be used or baby food(meat,veggies)anything to encourage eating. If he does not eat you may want to look into tube feeding,which is very easy to do after you get past your initial fear of trying it.
I want you to pick him up and run thumbs/hands down back of legs(from where leg joins body to where scales start)press down while doing,if it is a slipped tendon issue,tendon will feel loose/springy,almost like an elastic band,press down you should feel it snap back into place(compare to another bird so you know how it should feel). Now run hands down front of leg,feel any swelling or can you see any bruising? When you press high on thigh does he react in pain or pull leg away? When you hold him up will he pull up legs or move legs,when you touch bottom of feet does he react?
If you feel he is in pain you can give him aspirin,either low dose 81mg or reg 325mg aspirin,dose is 25mg per lb of body weight add a bit of water and make into a slurry(try adding a pinch of sugar b/c aspirin is bitter tasting)and give to drink or carefully syringe some into mouth if he will not drink,aspirin can also be wrapped in a piece of meat or cheese and given orally or add 1 325mg aspirin to 1 gallon of water.
