It looks like it is most likely an abscess, or pus filled pocket. Possibly from a bite or puncture wound? Without seeing and feeling it I can’t rule out the possibility of a tumor but at 9 months old that would be unlikely. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. In the meantime warm water and Epsom salt compresses can be helpful. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
