What B tablet are you using? Is it B complex with all B vitamins, or does it contain riboflavin? Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease? Could she have suffered a leg or hip injury? If the vitamin B2 riboflavin does not help after a week or so, I would be concerned about her possibly having Mareks disease. Does she put her bad foot down to walk?

If you are giving B Complex, that should have B2(Riboflavin).

In a thread you started last week, you mentioned she was having neurological symptoms.

At her age and symptoms you describe, you may be dealing with disease like Marek's. Vitamin therapy like you are giving may help. Sometimes birds are able to feel better or recover after a while. Sometimes they continue to decline and sadly don't make it.
I would make sure she's eating her chick starter, that her crop is emptying, stay on top of lice/mites/worms and continue with vitamin therapy to see if that helps. Give yourself a timeline for improvement, then make a decision of what needs to be done.
