It still could be broken even if you can touch it, there may be a fracture in the bone. The only way to rule out a broken bone is with an x-ray. It's quite serious Layla's leg has been swollen for 8 days and she can't stand on it. That means she has been in pain for 8 days. I would take her into a vet immediately.
