Whitey is very handsome! I would recommend monitoring it if you can't get to a veterinarian. If he starts licking at it I recommend putting an Elizabethan collar on so he cannot reach it. If it is getting larger or if he is limping I recommend a vet as soon as possible. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
