I don't think anyone on this list can tell without looking at the
injury. This is a case where a vet visit really is in order. I
wholeheartedly agree with the person who posted that she would rather
pay $20 (or more like $25 here) for an unnecessary visit than risk
leaving something that needs to be taken care of untreated. $25 is very
little to pay for piece of mind.
