My Great Dane/ lab mix has a red/white jewel. Only one of the little ones. I’m not sure what it is? Can you help?

This looks little normal anatomy but like it is bruised. He likely bites on it causing it to be bruised. I would watch it closely to ensure it doesn’t get bigger. If it stays red and bruised looking, I would ha e your vet look at it to ensure it isn’t infected. I hope This helps!
