I would recommend to have it done by your local veterinarian as, especially if swollen, that is not an easy procedure and if performed incorrectly could lead to more inflammation/damage. Some inflammation could become infected as well so antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
