Thanks for visiitng Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If it is a small bump then it is likely a bug bite. Monitor it for now to see if it resolves on its own within 3-7 days, especially if it is not bothering Max. You can also place a very thin layer of Neosporin on the area once every 12 hrs to help prevent infection. If it does seem to bother him then its best to place an e-collar on him to prevent him from scratching at it and then getting it checked out by your vet to ensure he doesn't need oral antibiotics to get this to resolve. Best wishes with Max and I hope this resovles soon. Take care.
