Unhappy swollen knee

About three weeks ago (or more...can't remember) I went to fetch Jolly out of his paddock & I noticed he had a large cut on his knee.

At first it was just a cut about 3inches long across his left knee, I called the barn manager & told him to get Dr. Bob out to look at it.
We didn't hear anything about it for a week!
We called, & called the manager & he never answered...
Finally we went out to "hunt him down" & right as we pull up he quickly shuffled his way over to Jolly & put DMSO on it.
But it's been three or weeks since that cut &...the cut itself is now just a small scab but his knee is swollen on the top left of it..
(I will take a picture...I'm not good at this haha)

We're probably going to call Dr. Bob out- but we think the manager isnt putting it on his knee, cause' ...it's looked the same for two weeks & the little jar of it is always in the same place.

So my question is, what the crap should I do? haha
Call out Dr. Bob? or trust Don to do it..(manager)


(We can't get there everyday anymore-mom's work )
