It's a capped elbow, caused by laying on hard ground or boards. When you drain them they sometimes go away and sometimes don't.

This say's a bit about the condition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroma_(canine_disease)

I had a dog years ago that got one and he wouldn't keep bedding in the kennel. I drained it and eventually got better but you could always tell it had been there. It didn't affect his working ability.

If you drain it with a syringe, make sure the needle is sterile and that you don't do any more damage with the point.

Agree with MF its bursitis caused by getting up off of hard surfaces

Yes plus what type of bedding is in his kennel if its straw/hay then it tends to flatten/thin out in places where he lays gets up and moves around hence exposeing the bare floor
