Any Experiences?

I had my 4.5 year old boy's stifles Xrayed on Monday to check for OCD due to swelling of the LEFT stifle... All clear in terms of OCD but Xrays of the RIGHT stifle revealed a fractured Fibula. He's not lame although does seem to have a slight stiffness of gait behind at times

My vet is completely un-concerned and says it's very common and the bone is non-weightbaring so doesn't matter and to carry on as normal. He's a worrier so I take his blaze attitude quite possitively! lol!

BUT I am still a little concerned and wondering whether I should give my boy some time off to give it half a chance to heal?

Any Experiences please?
