Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely a small abscess. I recommend that you have Sassy evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to clean this locally and recommend antibiotics to get rid of this infection. Good luck and have a good night!
