My dog just got neutered 2 weeks ago. His wound is now healed. I palpated his scrotum today and i felt a ball like mass/cyst on his right scrotum. What could this be? Thanks

Hi, it might be just a bit of reaction of inflammation to the inner stitches. If you are worried, have him rechecked. If he seems well in himself I will give him more time. See if in another week it feels smaller, as it should gradually come down. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
