I would advise contacting a wildlife rehabber: ask a local vet for a number you can call for that area.
Here in Virginia it is illegal to try to care for injured or sick wildlife unless you are a rehabber. I found this all out last fall when a co-worker brought me an eastern with a recently gnawed off rear foot.
I also agree with the other post that said it would be a bad idea to release it in a different area from where you found it. You did the right thing by picking it up, and they do heal nicely, given time, and the breeding question is a valid one, although I wouldn't count him out just yet...
