Sounds to me like replacing the donut will be more of a costly hassle than replacing the full sized tire.

Fix-o-flat saved me once with an old beater car. I think it was Slime actually.
But I think I'd wait for the free tow from my insurance should the donut have an issue.
Better to see if the tire shop can still fix the donut. Fix-o-flat sounds like a absolute bottom of the list option.
