This bump on Chevy could be due to an insect bite, it could be an infected wound, a cyst, or it could be a foreign body. You can try soaking his foot in an Epsom salt bath to see if that helps it reduce. Soak it for five minutes at a time a couple of times a day. If that doesn't help or the bump gets bigger, I would take Chevy into the vet to have it examined.
