A photo may be helpful; is the swelling under the suture line? If he is acting totally normal and the sutures look good, and he is not painful when you press on the swelling, and you don't see any discharge/he isn't licking at it, etc, then I don't think its urgent, however I would recommend that you have him evaluate by your vet sometime in the next few days. We may be able to further advise you if you post again and attach a photo. If you do so, please also tell us what day the surgery was (so we know how many days since surgery). Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
