Is it normal for a dog to have stitches on his testicles after neuter?

Question

Scooby got neutered yesterday and I noticed it looks like he has his stitches on his testicles, I didn’t know dog would get stitches there? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 55 lbs

Some vets use a technique involving making an incision directly along the scrotum, and some vets use a technique involving an incision between the penis and scrotum. As long as it is kept clean and dry and Scooby wears a cone to reduce the risk of him licking the area, hopefully it should heal up fine, no matter what technique your vet used!
