How to treat my dog's skin irritation after neuter at home safely?

Question

Jet was neutered 3 days ago. I am very certain that he has a yeast infection as he is showing several symptoms including irritation, pinkish skin, strong odor, and itchiness. I want to at least disinfect the area and lessen the itchiness so that he is not so agitated. What can I do from home to treat, correct me if I’m wrong, a yeast infection, while also being mindful of his suture? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | neutered | 5 months and 27 days old | 15 lbs

Hi, I don’t think it is a year infection but more a bacterial infection as yeasts don’t cause oozing of the skin. Regardless of this you could use a shampoo on the area that is affective against Yeats and bacteria, i.e. Malaseb shampoo. I would recommend that you give a ring to your vet and explain the problem and ask for a shampoo/product recommendation since he has been neutered 2 days ago. Explain that you are not going to use it on the wound but around the neck area. There also are Malaseb wipes, that are not as effective as the shampoo, but perhaps easier to use given the circumstances.
