It may have a slipped tendon. Those are seldom treated successfully, but most people try B complex vitamins or a chick vitamin that includes riboflavin. Poultry Cell has some, but Nutridrench does not. Then you can try some splinting if that doesn’t help. Apply a dab of antibiotic ointment to the leg sore.
