Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the incision was well-healed there would not be an issue with him going outside. However, bleeding from it is not expected at this point so far out from the surgery. For that reason, before letting him outside and returning to normal activity, I would recommend you have reevaluated by your veterinarian to make sure that he truly is doing well with his healing. Good luck and have a great day!
