Well, one of my babies...10 months old...has been out fighting again. He seems to get in most of his fights at night, so we try to keep him in by about 7-8. Anyway, his front leg, at the "elbow" joint (you know, the middle one, not the shoulder, not the ankle) is terribly swollen and I can't examine it closer to see if it is cut or not. Not unless I feel like getting torn to shreds. Is this a "let mother nature handle it" kind of injury? The vet is really out of the question unless they are doing it pro bono...(good luck to me on that! lol!) Any advice? Anyone else's kitties have this kind of injury before?
