Poor Tupac! You can’t tell what type of infection it is without a microscope. It sounds like he is in pain and I recommend to have him examined by his veterinarian. In general, you might infections are not common in dogs. Each type of infection requires a specific medication. If yellow liquid is present, this often signifies a more severe infection. Try to get him seen today. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
