Luna has been biting at her hind leg. I noticed a pink bump. It started off with an injury and had a dried crust, but now it looks like this. She has been itching this fairly. Is it something serious? Should I be worried?

It looks like a possible lick granuloma which is from her licking. I would recommend an elizabethan collar and bringing her to a veterinarian so they can give medication to help her feel more comfortable while this heals. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
