Dog's neuter site unhealed, acting weird after cone removal. What now?

Question

He was neutered on 10/22/18 and I took off his cone two weeks after being neutered which is what they told me to do. Today he began to act very weird, barking loud, whining for everything, etc. Which is way out of his character, he’s usually very quiet, gets along with other animals, barley barks, etc. I looked at his nueter site and it’s not healed. I provided a picture, please let me know what I can do about this. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 18 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At this point this looks very superficial. If he does not lick or scratch at it, this will likely heal on its own at this point. I would put the e-collar back on until this heals completely. Good luck!
