Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is difficult to know exactly what is going on just based on a description and this will ultimately require an examination. This can be an infection for example. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to see what seems to be the issue and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a wonderful day!
