It looks like Charlie is experiencing some sort of allergic reaction. If you can not get him to the veterinarian, the best thing you can do is get him some benadryl. At a vet, they would administer a steroid to reduce the inflammation. I would also say that you should try and take his temperature at home. If it is above 102.5, this is indicative of a fever. I would start to cool him with a moist towel if this is the case. If the temperature is greater than 104.0, I would say that you need to find a way to get him to the vet. There will be some that will work with you financially or provide you with a service to lend money. Hope this helps.
