Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. What toy are describing could be a sore from a puncture secondary to a thorn or something sharp, a bug bite or ingrown hair. I would recommend applying a topical medication such as zymox topical ointment and apply to the area until resolved. If there is no improvement or the area worsens then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at this for further testing and treatment recommendations. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
