Yes, I'd keep him confined until you can call your vet to get more specific instructions. The meds may have him a little off balance, plus the difficulty of having to learn to navigate with a newly hurt limb will put him at risk for futher injury. Err on the side of caution to prevent further trauma.
Gives him hugs and cuddles from us... hoping he feels better soon...
in our prayers...
