My puppy got neutered yesterday and escaped into our flooded backyard this morning. I'm positive his incision got wet, should I clean it, if so how? Or just monitor it closely?

I would not recommend cleaning the incision. You can take a dry towel and gently spat dry the incision. I would monitor Snoopys incision for any discharge , swelling or smell. If this occurs I would recommend taking Snoopy into the vet to have the incision re checked. Hope that helps
