thanks for that pal. it was just an idea. its not that serious that i have to take him to the vets as ive been smothering it with anteseptic cream that helps it heal, prevent infection and numbs the pain. seems to be doing him a world of good. i have also been road walking him morning and night to help him put pressure on it. he will be back to normal in a couple of days. thanks for your concerns.
