Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to see that Kramer is having trouble. It's a bit difficult to see what is going on in the picture but if some pink tissue is protruding from the skin, you should have him evaluated immediately. Without adequate care tonight and an Elizabethan collar, he may do a lot more damage to the area by licking it. I would get him seen right away. Your vet can evaluate what is going on and then advise you on how this condition needs to be treated. An open wound can become contaminated and infected rather quickly and if not treated right away may lead to bigger problems soon. Good luck with Kramer. I hope you can seek care right away for him. If you are unable to do that, I would make sure that he has an Elizabethan collar on so he cannot lick the area and make it worse.
