 Post Neuter concern
I got the boys neutered last week, the 23rd. Alphy had a retained testicle and had 2 sets of stitches on below and one above his penis. They said it was pretty invasive for him. They said to keep him covered with a onesie or belly band so he wouldn't lick the stitches. The first night he had an episode where he woke up fully engorged (not sure how else to explain it) air humping and .... well you get the idea. It was huge, it happened again the other day. My daugter called me in a panic, she had never seen anything like that LOL.
He does this from time to time but being it was so soon after the surgery I was a little worried. first 2 days he was pretty sore and didn't want to lay or sit (kept him medicated). Now he seems fine with the exception that the lower part of his penis where the stitches are seem to still be swollen and a little red, almost like there's a little bulb inside just under the stitches, scar tissue? I called the vet's office and she suggested I use a warm compress on it a few times a day and if not better by Thursday to bring him in.
Has anyone dealt with anything similiar? I am at like 80% of just taking him in tomorrow and not waiting until Thursday to see if the swelling goes down. But if someone else has dealt with it and thinks I should wait I will.
Make sense? |
