Is a sacrificial animal's leg injury one hour before slaughter considered a defect?

If an animal designated for sacrifice (Udhiyah) develops a defect after its designation, such as breaking its leg and being unable to walk, its owner should slaughter it, and it will be sufficient for him. This is because it has become a trust in his care, and the defect did not occur due to his action or negligence.
