Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on the picture, this swelling could be a lymph node or abscess / cyst. I would recommend having Kita examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. It is difficult to say for sure what the problem is just by looking at he photo. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
