Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This looks like a puncture wound and it looks infected. I would recommend having Theo examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. He likely needs an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. I hope this helps and hope that Theo gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
