If the spot is actively bleeding it is best to get the spot to stop bleeding or seek veterinary care right away if it doesn't. If it has stopped, but there is a wound, it is a good idea to have it looked at, especially if it is growing in size and now bleeding as this can indicate issues such as tumors, torsions, infections, etc which all require care as soon as possible. Until you can get to your vet, keeping an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Whatnot is best to stop him from licking at it and worsening it more.
