It is just above her knee. Her hip seems fine but has no control over the leg

A break in the femur.

It'll have to be mended, if it's not aligned, splinted/immobilized, to make sure it heals properly.

That's the Hock/Ankle.

If it's broke above the joint, then it needs a splint. I believe the leg would still have to be immobilized for the break to heal properly though.

Do I need bring her to a vet to have this done? Or can I do this at home?

Either way, but it would be cheaper to do it at home. If you believe a vet is necessary, then that's fine too.

How long do you think it will take to heal?
