My male dog got neutered last Monday and his wound was glued shut. It has opened some and I'm wondering if I should take him back to the the vet. I have a picture if you'd like.

Unfortunately, there is no way to share photos on the forum, but you can request a consult with an expert online to share as many photos are you'd like and receive more in-depth help. After almost a week of healing, the wound shouldn't be opening back up, so I would have Kane seen by a vet to check this out. It may need to be closed again with more surgical glue or staples.
