| Worried about my Chewbacca after his neuter So I had Chewbacca neutered today. His scrotum area is swollen and red and angry looking. The doctor thought maybe his blood wasn't coagulating so they ran blood tests and everything came back normal. I don't know how to attach a pic but I will try. The vet said it would be okay but she didn't even know why it did it. I'm super sad and he hates me now Well I can't get the pic to upload but if anyone has experienced anything like this or wants to see I can email it |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I don't know about neuter stitches but it doesn't sound normal. I would see another vet if it looks as bad tomorrow or sooner if it looks worse. I hope he feels better.

| This happened to one of my boys many years ago. I ended up taking him to the EC because he was in pain. I think that they gave him an antibiotic and anti-inflamatory,but this was 16yrs ago. I do remember it taking a while for him to heal. If it is really bothering you,you think it looks worse or he is running a fever I would take him to the EC. Hopfully someone else will come along with some other information for you. |

| Oh wow that does that pretty nasty. I would certainly watch him very close tonight and if he starts having problems get him into an ER Vet. But most certainly take back to the Vet tomorrow. Did they give you any pain medication for him? Prayers going out for his recovery.

| I do have pain medication for him although he is letting me touch it and push on it and he is not crying or whining at all. But I will continue to give him his doses of pain meds. It doesn't seem to hurt him. So I am hoping it isn't anything besides him being a easy bruiser. I am keeping a very close eye on him and hopefully it won't require anything more. I just don't know why it happened. |

| The thing is the vet sent him home like that :/. I have never had a problem with this vet and everyone raves about how great they are. |

| I found this Bad bruising after neutering? - Pet forum for dogs cats and humans - Pets.ca Then someone had said "That sounds almost like a hematoma. It's not a huge deal in itself... It's basically a bruise that doesn't stop bruising and causes a blood-filled sac to form under the skin. If left untreated it can cause problems. I might go in for a recheck. In the meantime, if you can apply a cold pack a few times a day it will help swelling and bruising go down, hematoma or not."

YT Addict | OMG! That does not look good. I hope she's right but if it doesn't look better in the morning I'd be at the vets office the minute they open tomorrow. I've never seen anything like that on any of my dogs that have been neutered or spayed. Poor Chewbacca, I hope it looks worse than it feels.

| Poor boy! If you don't end up going to the ER tonight, I would definitely have him seen first thing in the morning. Max had a little bruising from trying to stretch, but nothing like that. Keeping Chewbacca in my thoughts tonight.
