Your picture is a little blurry and it's tough to orient the pictures without seeing a little more of the legs, but the pictures to me look like an infected or irritated elbow callous. If these wounds are at the back point of the elbow, it's possible that Sierra had developed a callous in the area from laying down, which is normal. The callouses however can become infected or irritated if he is licking them or if there was something irritating that he was laying on. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine these areas in person since treatment may be necessary.
