My hen has Nerve Damage. Help!

[Chicken LittleLady]

Three days ago, my hen (Toothy) was attacked by a dog. She cannot move her leg, walk or stand. The vet said that she has nerve damage to her entire left leg. His recommendation was laser therapy, but it is not guaranteed to work. Does anyone have any experience with this? How can I help my Toothy regain function in her leg? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry that Toothy is not doing well.

You can try making a sling and place her in it for short periods of time. This will help keep her upright and take weight off her legs if she's sitting on them all the time.
An example of a sling is in the link below.

Wyorp Rock,
Thank you so much for the idea. I will try making a sling tonight.
