I am sorry to hear about Bobo. Unfortunately your photo is a little blurry and so I am not able to identify the area you are concerned about. Possible causes for a circular/round swelling could include a tumor (we can have benign tumors that don't cause issues and can be monitored and malignant tumors which behave aggressively and require surgical removal) or a stye or pocket of infection. I would recommend an examination by your dog's vet to look at the area of concern. If they feel it is a stye/infection they may prescribe an antibiotic. If they feel it is a tumor they may recommend removal or regular monitoring.
