My dog has dried pus 3 days post-neuter. Should I see a vet?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

My male husky was just fixed and there is a small amount of dried pus in the area. He has been off of the cone while I am around and has had little opportunity to lick. Should I take him in? He's three days post-op.

Hello. If the area looks at all moist, red, inflamed or swollen, then please see your veterinarian soo. If the area looks relatively quiet & dry, then I would not be concerned. If you can post a picture, this may be helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
