Why is my dog's neuter incision red after surgery? Should I worry?

Question

We took our chihuahua mix to get neutered on the 24th and its starting to look red. Is it something to be worried about? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years old | 13 lbs

In the pictures it appears like the neuter incision is completely healed and Piglet just has a small bruise or irrigation around the prepuce. This could be related to the neuter but also might be related to allergies or another issue. I would continue to monitor the redness and if it continues or gets worse take Piglet back to the vet for an exam. You can try an over the counter anti histamine incase it is just allergies. Hope that helps! thanks for using pet coach
