It would be best to bring Kilo to the vet as the area is likely infected. Your vet can clean the area and then offer a round of antibiotics to help stop the infection from continuing. You may also want to use an old t-shirt or Elizabethan (cone) collar to stop Kilo from scratching and chewing at the area so that it prevents further irritation and allows it to heal.
