Poor Hugo! If this lump is infected, he will need to see a vet. I also think it would be a good idea to have this lump examined, as it may be caused by a foreign body (such as a grass seed) that needs to be removed. I would take him into the vet today to have his paw examined. The vet can see if there is a foreign body causing the lump, remove it, and give him pain medications and antibiotics. Please do not give Hugo any human pain medications, many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
