Poor girl. Based on the photo, it's likely Boo has either a hot spot (Infected area on the skin, or a tooth root abscess (infection stemming from the underlying tooth root). In either case, she will definltely need to see your local vet to get this resolved because this will require a short course of presciription antibiotics at the very least in order to heal properly. Until you can get her seen by your vet, you can safely clean the area with some betadine (iodine) diluted 50:50 with warm water and wiping the area with this using a cloth 1-2 times a day. I do hope that Boo's skin heals up well soon! Best of luck moving forward and take care.
