My cat has a hole or tear near his groin after neutering. Vet visit?

Question

My male newly (within the last 3-4 weeks or so) neutered cat has what I’d describe as either a hole or a tear of some kind near his groin, I’m wondering what this is and whether or not it’s something he’ll need surgery or a vet in general for.

Not sure what that is precisely or if it's related to surgery but it definitely requires vet attention by tomorrow. Until then, either place a cone on your kitty to prevent self mutilation or use some sort of onesie. If neither are available you will need to manually continue to discourage this sort of behavior. The area may been to be closed up, and antibiotics and pain meds will likely be prescribed.
