My dog's neuter incision is yellow. Is it normal healing or infection?

Question

Hi, my dog was neutered last Sunday and I wonder if his insicion is healing properly. I have him wear a post surgery suit and an inflatable collar so he can’t lick or chew. The first photo was from yesterday and the other two are from today. The redness in his scrotum has improved greatly, and what seemed to be moist in the first photo looks dry now. He seems more frustrated today than previous days that he was taking tramadol. Is the yellowish color still normal or could be an infection?

Hello. There is a small amount of bruising on the testicle, which is perfectly normal. The discoloration is normal, too, The actual incision looks very good. Good job protecting the surgical site. Fabio will thank you in the end. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
