If Casper has a blood clot it might have a wound underneath that might need to be cleaned and sutured by your local veterinarian. If Casper has a lump, unfortunately, the only way to understand the exact nature and origin of it would be through to your veterinarian clinical examination and laboratory tests. Clinical appearance can help differentiate among infectious and neoplastic disease but only by collecting a specimen of the lesion will give you a specific and definitive answer. If you would like to post a picture of the lesion we might be able to help you further! Good luck. I hope my answer was helpful.
