Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know the extent of the injury without being able to look at it. However, this is possibly a superficial infection or wound. I recommend that you have Flo evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!
