Do you see any green bruising, redness, or swelling over her entire leg up to her hip? Can you look at her foot pad for any dark scabs? Is the leg crooked? Is there any way you can get an xray by a vet? I would confine her to a dog crate with food and water secured to the side. Put some bedding down or an old towel. Force her to rest her leg. You can place her crate wherever the others are for company.
