Injured foot from dog attack

[Kimcarlos]

A dog got at my hens and while I don’t think it actually got to this one I believe she injured her leg or foot getting away. She can’t put any weight on it and is using her wing to balance and hobbles over. Vet can’t find a break. She can’t sprawl her foot, it’s scrunched up like this all the time. Tips or tricks? Do these things heal on their own?

If the vet didn't find any breaks, then I would give her time to heal. She likely sprained it, injured somehow getting away from the dog.

Injuries and trauma take time to get better. See that she's eating/drinking well. Let her move about a bit, sounds like she's self limiting her activity.

Thanks so much. Tried to take her out out but she plops down and refuses to walk. Hope you’re right and with time she heals.

Is she able to stand on her "good leg" at all?
She may have suffered some nerve injury. You can try giving her supportive vitamin therapy. You can give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex once a day to help give her a boost.

@Kimcarlos what was the outcome for your hen with the injured leg? We have one that ended up with a similar injury after a raccoon attack the other night...
