Hurt leg

[Motherof4]

I have a buff that is about 1 year old. I found her limping this afternoon. I got her confined and here are two pic of her right leg. what do I need to do. I got her in a carrier cage with water and feed but not much room. I have put some antibiotic in her water.( the tetracycline hydrochloride soluble power that you would give to baby chicks) I don't know what else to do??? HELP

Can she bear weight on it? Either way, clean the area with Saline, or Bedadine solution and apply plain Neosporin( non-pain reliever). If you don't think it to be broken, then keep her confined like you are doing and let her rest and recover. If you think it is broken, then it will need to be splinted. best Wishes

Thanks for the advice...I really don't think it is broken for I had to chase her around the pen/yard a few times before I could catch her.
