It could well be OK now it's burst. Keep an eye, keep it clean (wash with salty water).
Fingers crossed he'll be fine now.

One of mine had an abcess under his chin and I didn't notice it until it burst and there was blood and gunk everywhere - and he's white!! I felt really bad that I hadn't noticed it before, but he was fine. We went to the vets and they shaved the area and cleaned it for me and gave him a jab and he was fine. It healed really quickly and well. I'm sure your furbabe will be fine, just keep an eye on it for infection.

I'm sure he will be fine, as DM says bathe with cooled boiled salty water, make sure you get all the pus out before the wound heals. I find veterinary wound powder excellent. Caleb our dog had a nasty wound recently after a run through some woods and the wound powder kept it dry and helped keep out infection. I bought mine at the vet medic pharmacy. www.vet-medic.com/
