You know I had a labrador that had her back leg broken when she was a pup. The vet placed it and everything but the hip never quite healed. Anyway once she lost some of her weight she was able to run and catch the ball without a problem. If anything the exercise will help strengthen the limb. It should be okay to play with them for a bit at a time.

maybe you can still play with him, but throw the ball not very far at all. im talking like a couple feet away. or just roll it on the ground. you can also maybe play tug of war with a rope or something with him? you can also get some squeeky toy for him to chew on by himself, pretty much every dog loves those.

You should really ask the vet what activities are Ok for him given his health issues. Swimming might be OK for him if you have a place nearby that would allow a dog.

Play different things with him. wrestle with different toys to find ones that he likes. You will find other activities that he enjoys.
