Dog neutered 11 days ago, incision bleeding. Can he go outside?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. From your pictures you have provided, I would strongly suggest taking Buddy in to have the neuter incision rechecked. It looks infected and looks as though the wound will open up further. The sooner this is seen the better. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. This likely needs to be cleaned up and Buddy needs to be on an oral antibiotic.

Hi, Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. From your question I think you are saying the Tua was neutered 3 days ago and he was cryptorchid (meaning one testicle had not descended in to the scrotum). They then had to go into his abdomen to find the other testicle. From your picture the incision appears closed. A little red which is ok. If Tua is acting fine then you can try warm compressing the incision twice daily. Make sure he is STRICTLY rested meaning no running, jumping, leash walks only and not licking the incisions. Use and E-collar or a t-shirt. If the incision is still leaking or gets worse then take him to the Vet Good luck!

Check the incision whether a stitch came out or whether it opened. If not, then all is well . You need to keep your dog from licking the incision. Licking prevents the incision from healing. If the incision keeps bleeding or if the incision looks open, you need to go back to your vet to have it closed again.

That does look a bit concerning with the blood, and if Agno is hunching or acting painful (with the quick steps and then sitting), I'd worry that it is bothering him. I would use a warm washcloth compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce any pain or swelling and also to clean up the area gently so you can see if there is extra discharge or swelling. If this causes him pain, there is discharge that is discolored, green, or yellow, or the site is opening back up again, a trip to the vet is best to treat any infection and make sure the surgery site is healing properly. Until you can get to the vet, strict kennel rest (leashed walks only) is best to help reduce pain and prevent any open wounds from tearing further.

It's normal for a dog to lick the scabs. After 13 days, Milo's incision should be fully healed, and if there is a small amount of blood, I would not worry. I would start worrying if the area appears infected, in which case you would see redness, swelling, the area would be warm to the touch, and you'd see pus. If he is licking the area excessively, then I would put the cone back on and have him see the vet. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At this point this looks very superficial. If he does not lick or scratch at it, this will likely heal on its own at this point. I would put the e-collar back on until this heals completely. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This warrants a veterinary evaluation for further assessment and treatment. This is most likely going to require stitches though that would be determined with an examination. Good luck and have a good night!
