That looks like a wound or blister that may be draining and/or infected since it looks weepy. It would be best to have it checked out by your vet in person, especially if it is oozing debris, so it can be cleaned and treated with antibiotics as needed. Your vet can also rule out other issues such as blisters, cysts, growths, etc. Until you can get to your vet, keeping the area clean and dry and placing an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Sapphire may help.
