Dog neutred 21 days back. Today little blood and watery discharge observed. No abnormal behaviour noticed, eating, drinking and playing. What may be the reason.

The most common reasons would be an infection or a suture reaction. I recommend to get this addressed today if possible and have Jack examined by his veterinarian. Also make sure he is wearing an elizabethan collar at all times to protect the area from licking and make sure to keep it clean and dry. Best of luck.
