So we did take Punky to the vet as we were uncomfortable attempting to treat him ourselves. It was close to his joint so the vet put him under a general anesthetic and cleaned it out for us as well as neutering him while he was under (we haven't had Punky very long so he hadn't been neutered yet - he showed up at our farm as a stray and stayed!). What is amazing to me is that he had his owie drained, general anesthetic, neutering and antibiotics for 10 days and they only charged me $90.00. This vet is a strong supporter of the SPCA so she said i was helping them out by taking in a stray. Not that money was an issue but it is nice to see there are still vets out there doing it for the love of animals.
