It may be a mass or tumor. Infection or trauma cannot be ruled out. You would need to have Creed physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the lump. A fine needle aspirate can be done to collect samples for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis. Once results are returned, you can discuss treatment options with your veterinarian. If Creed is licking or chewing at the area, place an e-collar (cone) on him until the issue is resolved.
