Thanks for reaching out about Keet and including a photo. If you are referring to the area over the left shoulder, that could be a bruise or contusion. If not affecting gait, continue to monitor. If off food, seems in pain, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and review diet/husbandry. Good luck.
