My dog has a red spot on his scrotum post-neuter. What should I do?

Question

Hi! I noticed a red spot on my dog's scrotum this morning that I don't think was there before. He was neutered 12 days ago, and we removed the cone on day 10. The incision site was above the scrotum and that looks fine. Should I be concerned about this red spot? (Photo attached). Thanks so much!!

The spot in your picture does look ulcerated. I would put the cone back on for a couple days to make sure Toffee isn’t licking it. You can apply Neosporin twice a day. If it looks like the spot is growing or getting worse in 2-3 days, he should go back to the vet to have it looked at closer.
