Anybody got any suggestions for what I can patch it up with until it's

i.e. something that can fill, be drilled and isn't toxic ?

Bring your dental checkup forward!!! Prompt treatment may enable the
tooth to be saved (using eg a crown). Delaying treatment may mean an
snip
If you are going to use car body filler ^W^W^W composite resin, you
would probably need to paint the tooth in phosphoric acid, this creates
a honeycomb in the enamel, which the composite can bond with. You would
also need calcium hydroxide to sooth the dentine and pulp, the calcium
hydroxide is also adhesive. Then whizz with UV light to set the resin.

From things I recall from a very non PC book about sticking things into
dogs, car body filler, which is probably polyester resin, is one of the
most irritating substances to place in contact with tissue.
Even worse than epoxy, which is bad.
