Temporary Paralysis? Or worse?

[Cheevalie]

I made a post a few days ago as my chicken was injured by one of my other hens in the house and seemingly could not move well afterwords. The day it happened, she could stand weakly on her legs for a while before lying down, the next day, no movement. Took her to vet who said there were no broken bones or nerve damage and that it was possible she would recover with rest. I believe her left leg moved slightly yesterday and claws were in a different position so I am hoping it is true.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this before? She is on medication atm and received two injections which seemed to help. She is in reasonably good humour, eating and drinking when she feels like it. I separated her andshe is in a hay filled box to keep her steady as she is overbalancing a bit.

It was most likely a traumatic experience for her. I would also keep her warm and separated from the rest of the flock so that she is not further picked on and has the ability to heal herself until she is feeling a little better. My vet has always recommended a raw egg to get them going again in a bowl. This is a very stressful time for her, but Chickens are amazing animals who seem to rebound overnight when they are ready. She just needs a little extra TLC.

Is she moving both legs, and is there any curling under of the toes? Can she stand and walk at all now? Is she putting weight on both legs? Were your chickens vaccinated for Mareks disease? I would use some poultry vitamins containing riboflavin in the water, or give 1/2 of a crushed B Complex tablet in her food or a treat daily, just in case this is a vitamin deficiency. Cooked or raw egg is very good, in addition to her usual chicken feed.

She moved her left leg slightly yesterday, I laid her down beside her bed to clean it and her leg sort of 'slid' (not really, can't think of another description) backwards and her toes were curled in a different position and have *very* slight pressure when you touch them. Her right leg is seemingly not moving at all. The vet didn't really give an official diagnosis but said if she is to recover it could take two days or two weeks. I will try the raw egg, she is currently getting vitamins and medicine from vet. She is not standing or putting pressure but is trying to move/balance with wings which means her left could possibly be recovering slowly. There was no damage to her back or any nerves during the attack so it could have been caused by her head being attacked (her comb was bloodied and damaged slightly) or stress related as she could put a certain amount of standing pressure on them after it happened.
