Hen with hip injury having problems with balance

[Pkekat15]

My pullet, Cirq, is 7 months old and recently she injured her hip in a fight. We thought that it was possibly dislocated or she had something wrong with her tendon, but when we tried to put it back into place we wernt sucsessful. Its been a few weeks and she hasnt gotten better. All she does is limply drag the leg behind her and its been hampering her hopping. Now, I think I am a pretty good chicken doctor and Ive had and sucsessfully treated our two yr old guinea with a compound facture, and hes been getting along with one leg just fine. Cirq, on the other hand hasnt figured out the ballence part of things and she just wildly stumbles around. I taped her leg up so it was out of the way, and it has helped a bit, but she still has little controle over her ballence. I do not have her in a separate place, but I give her her own food and water at night before bed. She dosent get picked on at all, in fact everyone leaves her alone, but I know she wont make it through the winter at this pace. I was wondering if anyone eles has had a simmilar experience and could share the knowlage. If anyone has any Ideas on how to help her ballence better where she could live with that one leg that would be great. Shes such a funny little thing, and I hate seeing her like this, I dont want to put her down if there is another option. Thanks everyone.

Oh I am so sorry about your baby!

Can you get a vet to reset the leg?

I am not an expert on this and I don't know if this will help, but if she were mine, I would try baby aspirin on her once a day, use homeopathic creams for pain, epsom salt soaks, infra red heat lamps to increase circulation, ACV helps with inflammation, anything to ease her pain and reduce inflammation. I wish had better answers, I hope you can save her.

And I would not let her walk around, she could injure herself worse.
