Keep an eye on it. It could be local irritation or infection. If it doesn't resolve on its own or if spreads, have Cali examined by your veterinarian. Some antibiotics and/or anti-inflammatory medications may clear it up. If you have plastic food/water bowls, consider switching to ceramic or stainless steel ones to prevent allergic reactions.
