I've no personal experience, but have come accross some things on-line, a support that is worn over the area.

Here is one website.

As I've said, I've no personal experience, but this may be something to look into.

Thanks but he chewed up something similar.

They look awful but the ones I have come accross have eventually gone down by themselves with no treatment.

One of ours had one when she was a youngster. We did nothing and it gradually disappeared. It took a few months if I remember rightly. Like you, our vet advised against surgery. He thought these things often settle by themselves.

LOL, at least he had some fun with them :)
