The swelling and bruising look ok to me, but the crusting is a little concerning. I am not sure how long ago the procedure was, but I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian soon. In the meantime I would warm compress the area twice a day for 5-10 minutes. Best if luck and I hope he heals soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
