Hi, my boy Bruno was neutered on May 22. The day I adopted him from the shelter and today I noticed a little swelling near his penis when I pressed on it slightly, it was his little discharge. It was clear, but they had a little older to it what do I do until the vet opens on Monday, please help. I love my little guy so much. Please help with suggestions so worried.

Hello! Thank you for illustrating this, although I'm not sure which possible swelling you are referring to. The scab in front of the scrotum, which would have contained the dogs' testicles, looks to be crusty over the wound (likely where the testicles were removed). Sometimes this is a very local reaction at the wound site as healing occurs. However, particularly if the area is looking progressively sore, hot, swollen, bring scratched etc then it can be worth getting it checked. Many vets have an agreement with the out of hours providers whereby they will be happy to triage (initial assessment) post op changes over the phone.

He was adopted from the human society they do not open until Monday morning and they are suppose to be able to cover anything that goes wrong with the surgery so I will be calling them if not I will be going to a vet this Monday
