Dragon Blown Shock?

i have 3500 miles on my 2008 dragon 600. last night while riding i think i blew the shock out. i hit this one mogul pretty hard and after that it felt like it was bottoming out quite often. the question i have is...... could i just recharge it or will it need a whole rebuild? i don't think it's the walker evans shock. i believe it is a ryde fx. it looks like it has a gas reservoir. i need some help before i decide whether i'm fixing this shock or just buying a regular fox shock and putting it in. any help is appreciated.
 
If you could take a picture of the shock. There are two types of ryde fx shocks. One that can be rebuilt and one that can't!
 
these are the best i could get.

If the body of the shock is damage free it should be rebuildable but they have been known like some of the walker evans where the body of the shock cracks under pressure, but if it is ok it is rebuildable and is a very good shock.
 
the shock looks like it did the day i picked it up. only problem is.... i can just push down on the back end without any resistance at all. i put racing springs in the sled this year so i know it's not the springs.
