Subject: Slipped Tendon on 2.5 yr old Barred Rock Hen

We found our 2.5 yr old barred rock hen (7.5 lbs) unable to walk 5 days ago. We took her to a vet who specializes in birds and has seen poultry. he said she has a slipped tendon. He taped it thinking it might help. He also said she is too heavy. I checked her hock today and it is very swollen so I removed the tape thinking the compression was affecting the swelling. I have her in a sling now. How long per day should she be in a sling? What's the chances of her recovering? We love her but don't want her to suffer. She eats and drinks okay and otherwise seems okay.
