My dog's neuter incision is leaking blood. Do I need an emergency vet?

Question

I had my dog desexed three days ago and this morning it's leaking and I think a bit of blood, they had to find the other nut further up so there's more than one incision, should I take him to emergency. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 6 months and 14 days old

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!
