I've also heard of some (VERY WELL TRAINED and/or EXPERIENCED) keepers using a needle and syringe to draw the blood out to help reduce the swelling. I would NOT recommend trying this yourself and I have no direct experience with it. I've just read that others have tried it.

Try the sugar method if you feel comfortable with it. Whether you do or don't, get it to the vet.
