Exactly... Sometimes vets are overrated though. If you can keep him quiet long enough to feel things and see if it is a clean break/dislocation and not shattered, put a cast (splint) on it, tetanus shot and watch for swelling/fever (keep antibiotic handy) and let him use it. Keep him clean and dry and give him room to move. Fresh air and sunshine works good also, maybe some extra vitamin/minerals for joint growth. Don't sell homeopathic/alternative methods short either.

Good Luck.

Dave
