It may be local irritation or infection. A tick bite, tiny bite or claw wound is also possible, especially if you have other pets or if Stella goes outside. Monitor for redness, swelling, bruising, discharge or lethargy. It looks to be healing on its own. You can have Stella examined by your veterinarian for a more definitive diagnosis and treatment (if indicated).
