No, it's not fine, it sounds like Harley is suffering. There are no pain medications you can give him that are OTC, and what the owner is doing is animal cruelty. You need to call your local SPCA to get him with him, he cannot be left in this condition. Or you take him into a vet now yourself. Please do that, what is being done to him by refusing him treatment is animal cruelty and the owner could be charged for refusing veterinary treatment for him.
