I have a 2 year old hen who just doesn't seem to be getting better. I have given her LA 200, High Level B Complex Injections, and electrolytes. She's eating and drinking fine. When I turn her over she is feisty and strong. She just can't seem to get her balance. She's been like this for 3 days now. She's not getting any better but she isn't getting worse either. I'll attach a video. Is there something else I can do to try and help her?

How old is she? Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease? Is one leg weaker than the other, and are the toes curled under? Does she lay eggs? Do you have a rooster who might have hurt her while trying to mate? What was the LA 200 given for? She needs to be close to her food and water, such as in a small pen or a dog crate. A chicken sling chair can be made for her to get her upright and in front of food/water, while keeping her cleaner. She needs to be out of the sling for periods of rest and to sleep and stretch. Here is a thread with 4 pages of sling designs for different ages:

She is 2 years old. No, she wasn't vaccinated. Both legs are about the same. Yes, she lays eggs. Her toes curl sometimes but not always. I don't think the rooster could have hurt her. He is gentle with all the hens. The LA 200 was given just in case there was some sort of infection. I wanted to cover all the bases since she didn't improve after 48 hrs. She is close to her food and water. I wanted to move her away from the food to see if he mobility improved any. Thank you for the link. I will look into that.
