Unhappy My Tokays jaw is broken

so, Im sure alot of you have seen my thread about my tokay having what looks like an abscess in his mouth, or some sort of unhealed wound. If you havent, long story short, he got bit on his bottom lip by another Tokay when I went to buy him.

So anyway, today I went to pick him up, rub his belly (he really likes that) and try and keep the wound in his mouth cleaned by using some diluted hydrogen peroxide (I have a vets appointment wed)

So as im doing that, I see what i think is a tooth sticking out of the inflamed area he got bit. On further inspection, I realize its his jawbone. I feel so bad for the little guy So he is going to the vet first thing monday morning. I wish i could give him some of my painkillers or something. I just want him to feel better. This hurts sooooo bad.

Can anyone please tell me anything positive? Is this fixable? Can he live a normal life? Can the vet fix him up? I dont want to have to have him put to sleep.
