Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an abscess for example. I recommend that you have Leo evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If this is confirmed, your veterinarian may recommend drainage and further local therapy as well as antibiotics. Good luck!
