First, I'll introduce myself since this is my first time posting. My name is Alicia and I have a wonderful cat named Sylvestor which is why I am here.
A few days ago, I noticed this odd bulge on the top of his leg. It appeared to be fluid filled, and it bothered me. I went out for the night and came back, and a hole had formed in it, and is leaking this yellow/clear fluid out of it. He's constantly licking it, but I am afraid of infection and I have no idea what it is or what I can do about it. I can't afford to take him to a vet, so I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information, and if I should really be concerned.
On a side note, my pup had the same type of thing on her ear. It never got a hole in it, but it just disppeared, so I was thinking maybe a spider bite or something similar. I really don't know. I just want him better, and it to go away. He's eating and whiney like his usual self, so I don't believe it is bothering him.
Thank you so much for those that answer and can offer any help. I appreciate it greatly.
