Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be temporary due to mild trauma and may go away on its own. I would not be too concerned about this for now. If this persists for longer than 1 week, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, this may resolve on its own. Best of luck!
