Alternative Medicine for Pets/Cat

Question
My cat has a red big boil/tumor on his foot vet wants 800.00 to drain it! Can't I do it at home? What would relax him so he won't jump around? Raised on ranch use to doing my vet work!
Sorry, There is nothing that I know of that would relax a cat enough to lance a boil. This isn't something I'd do on my own or recommend that you do. You may research homeopathic and herbal solutions to reduce the tumor without lancing it and that would prevent it from returning. A raw food diet and immune boosting formula such as Herbsmith's Immune Boost, Baar Products Ojibwa Herbal formula, or any number of formulas available on line, especially combined with a homeopathic detox formula can potentially do the job rather quickly and affordably.
