Inflammed joint - like a blood blister

[GizandGir]

Gir has a lump which keeps growing on his back right leg at the joint. I popped it with a needle and blood came out and filled back up. Any thoughts. Going to the vet would be an option (I am unemployed at this time and can't afford to take him). His eating, pooping and activities are normal and the blister doesn't seem to bother him, but its bothering me with questions. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.

I'm sorry that I cannot help you, but I'll bump this up and hopefully someone who can help will see it. I do think that I would stop popping the blister, now that you know what it is. You don't want to risk infection. Good luck!

Hello,

Do you have any pictures of this we could see?
Does it look like it is getting infected at all? He could have been bitten by a feeder possibly. How large does it get around the joint?
That is chancy popping it though as it could get infected. You can use some antibiotic ointment on the area & soak the joint area in water water daily. Is the joint itself, swollen?
