Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. From the picture, it appears as though this could be an insect bite. As long as Chief is not showing any other symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. then I would just monitor this for now and see if these go down on their own. If more begin to show up, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendation can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
