Thanks for reaching out about your concern. It's completely normal to feel a bit uncertain about how things should look after your dog has been neutered. Post-surgery changes can be confusing, but I'm here to help you through it.
After neutering, it's typical for the surgical site to appear a bit swollen or red, and your pup might be slightly uncomfortable. These are normal parts of the healing process. However, there are some things to keep an eye on. If you notice excessive swelling, ongoing bleeding, discharge with a strong odor, or if your dog seems to be in severe pain, these could be signs of an infection or other complication.
To keep your dog comfortable at home, encourage him to rest and prevent him from licking or scratching at the incision site. A cone, or E-collar, can be useful in stopping any interference. Make sure he's staying hydrated and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your vet.
Monitor for signs of serious concerns like your dog becoming lethargic, experiencing a loss of appetite, or if the incision area seems to worsen. If anything seems out of the ordinary or you're still unsure, it's best to consult a vet.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
