Cornucrescine! It's amazing stuff and will strengthen and help the horn to regrow.
Just take your time getting her to pick up her legs. For a start just literally touch them and make a fuss of her when she reacts and picks them up, cos that's what you really want her to do in the long run.
Do this a good few times til she gets the idea of what you want and doesn't panic and over time get her to let you hold them up etc. Don't try to pick them out til she's not bothered about you handling them.
Good luck x
