awww your poor baby must be miserable. Can you try an e-collar and something like cortisone cream for a few days to see if that helps if he cannot lick it. I know you can give him 2mls of benedryl childrens formula to maybe help with the itchiness. Ultimately I would just have to take him to the vet, he is obviously suffering and if it gets worse and you do take him it could cost MORE in the long run than it would now. Try to find a vetrinary clinic vs an animal hospital, they seem to be a bit more affordable.
