My neutered dog is warm, drooling, sleepy a week after. Is it normal?

Question

My puppy is 1 year and 3 months. He weighs 60 pounds and is a pit bull. He was neutered last Thursday and they glued the incision site instead of giving him stitches. He was on a strict low activity schedule. His wound looks a little irritated and he feels warm. He also has been drooling excessively. And he’s in a sleepy mood. Should I take him to the Humane Society where he was neutered? Or is it normal to be a little red and have these symptoms a week after being neutered?

Great question! I would take him into the Humane Society to have his incision examined. Call first to make sure the vet is available. While some irritation can be normal, it's not normal for him to feel warm and be more lethargic than usual. Drooling excessively isn't normal either, than could be due to nausea. I wouldn't expect to see these signs a week after being neutered, so a check with the vet is best. I hope this help!
