In the meantime, can you put Neosphorin on it? Do you think it's itchy or painful? Could be it's bloody and raw from Malone licking it. My RB Cody had something similar near his elbow but it was just a fatty cyst that broke from his messing with it. I hope and pray it's nothing serious. Please, please let us know as soon as you get home! Please give him extra kisses and hugs for me.
