The picture is very hard to decipher, but I think it is the nature of a dark color fur and skin lesions don’t show up Well in pictures anyway. I am a little worried because it is different then the left side. I am hopeful that it is just a deep scab and is healing well, but I also worry it could be an early sign of infection. I would encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian. In the meantime you can compress the area with a warm water and Epsom salt compress. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
