It is a good idea to keep Goldie's feet clean and dry and place an Elizabethan (cone) collar on him to keep him from licking and chewing and making the irritated area worse, however if the boils are painful, look infected, worsening, or not healing they need to be treated by a vet in person. If you're having trouble affording care, this site can help give you some ideas/options to make it more affordable so Goldie can get the help he needs: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/having-trouble-affording-veterinary-care
