Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Judging from the picture you have provided, I suspect that Lucy may have a skin infection in that area. I would recommend having this looked at by a veterinarian in case oral antibiotics are needed. If you are unable to get to the veterinarian right away, you can try a topical spray such as Mal acetic conditioning spray which can be found online quite easily. Apply this spray twice daily until resolved and if it does not improve or it worsens then I would have it looked at by a veterinarian sooner rather than later. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
