Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 35 lbs
My dog was neutered 8 days ago, and I caught him licking yesterday even with his cone one. And now the incision looks red, little puss. Should I be worried

By licking the incision your dog licked bacteria into it and now there is an infection. You should take Bentley back to the vet for a recheck. He will likely need prescription antibiotics and a bigger e-collar.
