Is it in his hocks? how long has he been that way? We had one swell up in the hocks, rinsed it with cool water eveyday for a couple of days and it went away, if it does not go away after a couple of days you may want to call a vet and see what you can treat it with.

Probably the best thing would be to call you vet, and get a shot of banamine, and LA300. It may also be a cyst, or blister...so either ask someone nearby to look at him, or get the vet.
