With that scab and discharge it is likely infected. To can be from either a scratch or injury that tried to heal wth a scab but the bacteria got trapped underneath to form the infection. You can gentle get the scab off to clean the area with soap and water then apply neosporin twice a day until you can get it checked by a vet for oral medicine
