sandymere 8,261 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Could be one of a thousand things, if it that swollen it need someone who knows what they are looking at to examine it such as a vet. As an aside a bit of common sense should tell you by posting on here you have made it clear it is serious, swollen to twice the size, and you have no experience, so if you don't take it to the vets you are liable for prosecution by the RSPCA for neglect, and they would just love to do so.
