Ouch that looks uncomfortable. That looks like a mass of some sort. Rocky needs to go to the vet to have that looked at and sampled. The vet may want to do a round of antibiotics first before sampling it because it looks like it could be infected. This isn't an emergency, but I would want him to get to the vet within the week.
