Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chop. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. I cannot tell from the picture if there is a mass or a wound on his leg. His veterinarian will examine him and may shave the surrounding hair to better evaluate the area. Based on these results, treatment can be started to help him feel better. He may need oral antibiotics for a wound or surgery to remove a mass. In the meantime, place an E-collar on him to prevent any further trauma. This will be more effective than wrapping it. I hope this information helps!
