That looks uncomfortable on Eclipse’s flank! It is likely infected and she likes needs antibiotics to get that to heal quickly. There could be many underlying causes such as fleas, mites, ringworm (which humans can get), possibility allergies or possiblely contact with some sort of chemical that causes a burn. Regardless, the doctor will prescribe medication for infection and likely to decrease inflammation. She should also wear an Elizabethan collar at all times as her licking will only make it worse. I hope she feels better soon!!! I hope this helps and please post again with any further questions.
