Poor Wyland ! I would keep a close eye on it to ensure he isn't licking it and to ensue it isn't continuing to bleed. I would start him on Benadryl and continue it long term since he has a history of mast cell tumors. Mast cells release histamine so Benadryl is just a good preventative to help with any future outbreaks from any underlying mast cells. If the bleeding continues or the area doesn't look like it is healed, I would have your vet take another look at it. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
