They get them all the time when their front claws are too sharp and they try to grab a branch and their dewlap gets in the way. They need to be lanced and cleaned out if you want them to heal. Sometimes you can just leave them alone. There is a limited supply of blood to the edges of the dewlap, so the chance of an infection spreading is very low. The best way to avoid this in the future is to keep their nails trimmed.
