Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be an abscess or possibly a pulled muscle or inflammation. An exam would definitely be needed to know for sure what this is. I would highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Hopefully this is nothing serious. Best of luck!
