My dog's neuter incision is swollen and looks open. Is it serious?

Question

My dog was neutered 11 days ago and he has some swelling and it looks as if he’s missing a stitch. My vet is not open till Monday. How bad is it and what can I do? Pet's info: Dog | Blue Heeler | Male | neutered | 39 lbs

Hi, I think the gap between the edges of the wound is very small. As long as you prevent Buster to groom the area, it will be fine to have him checked over tomorrow. The area looks a bit swollen, has it always been like this.? I think if he is well in himself, eating and drinking etc you can wait until Monday safely and then have his wound and area checked over. Hope this helps !
