Hard to assess the damage from the pics, but let him rest and see what happens. I wouldn't worry about a clean water dish smelling too new. I would clean it and rinse well. Use water with no chlorine, if possible, to refill it. You want him to drink a lot. I wouldn't take him to the Vet as there isn't much more that they can do, except maybe force feeding or giving water through a feeding tube. We understand the stress you are experiencing, so we know you aren't being rude. I don't know he survived the trauma so far, but the broken ribs, if they are indeed broken, have to be painful. We can pray that they only bent, but didn't break.
