My puppy's neuter incision has a bump. Is this normal healing?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 months and 26 days old | 51 lbs

Im checking in again on my pup’s neutering healing. I’m happy it seems to be dry and doesn’t seem to be swollen, but I’m still concerned about the bump I’m seeing. Based on previous responses and the articles I’ve read on what to look for-I’m not seeing the bad stuff but there really isn’t anything on what good healing looks like. So please ease my overreacting and paranoid mind and let me know if this still looks okay! Please and thank you!

Hi and thanks again for reaching us out with this concern. It looks healing fine and the little bump will slowly reabsorb. It is probably best to request a consultation with us so we can monitor it every day and follow this up properly.
