Hello! The best thing to do is to keep the area clean with warm water. If he is not improving, your best bet is to take him in. Sorry, there isn't too much that can be done at home for this sort of thing!

    Here are some resources that may help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 redrover.org carecredit.com bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ I hope this helps you afford a vet!
