My 1 year old jug pup was neutered Exactly 1 week today so I took his cone off he started licking and very quickly the scabs went and the wound started bleeding I’ve put his cone back on and I’m his crate so he can’t jump and he stays calm should I be worried ?

It sounds like Scrappy has disturbed the healing process of his incision, and I would take him into a vet today or tomorrow to make sure he didn't remove any sutures. This incision needs to be checked out. I hope this helps.
