Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. From the picture and your description, I would suspect this to be an infected wound that is not responding to the antibiotics or an abscess. It can take time to heal and may take more than a few days. If you feel it is worsening, I would have Cocos wound rechecked. I would consider culturing this to ensure the antibiotic you are using is the most effective. If it is an abscess, he may need to be sedated and have the wound cut open and drained. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you may have. I am also available via consultation if needed.
