It bled quite a bit, but the bump was getting smaller (like it was draining). Now it seems swollen again and it keeps bleeding off and on. It's not gushing blood, but it has been bleeding a little bit all day. It's Sunday and I know I will be paying outrageous prices to take him to the emergency vet, but I will if I have to. He doesn't seem to be in any pain (except for when we touch the bump). Does anyone have any advice??

May be an abcess. They can be caused by a lot of things, including clogged hair follicles. Have you been cleaning it with hydrogen perioxide? That will ease the pressure. Normally an abcess will swell, then rupture, drain, close, swell again, open, drain. After you clean the area very good, and it still wants to swell and drain, then it's time for Dr. Vet. Good Luck.
