Thank you, I did go ahead and take him to the vet.  He did have an abscess, so thank you again for the advice.

He may have a wound on his paw which needs veterinary attention.  It would be best to take him to the vet, since you can't examine his paw.  Bite wounds and abscesses require antibiotics, wound flushing and other therapies that only a veterinarian can supply.
