Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This does not mean necessarily that there is an issue. However, this may be due to an infection or perhaps something like inflammation. If he is doing fine then it is probably ok to continue to monitor him for now. However, if there is something wrong with him such as not eating or vomiting, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
