splayed twisted leg

[altgirl35]

today the dog officer from a neighboring town brought me a piji about 3 weeks old or so.
i'm not convinced he is a feral could be a homer, much bigger than a feral of the same age, and very adorable
his little leg was sticking straight out to his side, i took him to the vet and he wasn't convinced that his hip was in socket but wasn't positive.
i'm busted financially from the baby season i had this year so i couldn't afford an x ray at this time.
we hobbled him with a sponge (toe seperaters) but his leg and foot still twisted to the right outward.
so i made a short soft perch and taped his feet to it in the proper direction, plus keeping him hobbled.
i wish i would have taken a pic before hand but i didn't think of it at the time.
i set him up in a donut but he doesn't want to stay in, and he will just fall on his face if i give him freedom to move about.
not sure if i am doing the right thing for him, and if this is going to be a painful problem for him the rest of his life or not.
i see lots of piji's that do just fine with one leg and my thinking is if i can at least get it in a better position he may be able to survive just fine if he's a feral, and i would try to find a home for him if he is a homer
i will try to get a pic of him in the t'mrrw any advice would be appreciated.
