I’m sorry you are having issues with Coco. This mass appears to have become wuite large and has started to necrose in the center. This will continue to get bigger and remain infected if it is not surgically removed. The only thing you can do is clean the surface, but that is really not very helpful. Coco should see your veterinarian ASAP to discuss surgery to remove this mass. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
