Hi guys!
This will probably sound like a stupid question, but Isaac is our first male dog. He's 2 y/o, and was neutered two weeks ago.
Here's the question. He came home from the vets the day after his surgery, two days later we saw our own vet (he was a pound puppy, so no choice on the vet doing the neutering) who gave him a quick check, including his incision. She said that he'd definitely been neutered, and that his scrotum would eventually shrink down. So why is his scrotum so huge now? It is bigger than when we brought him home, I would automatically think infection, except he has no fever, shows no signs of sickness and has put on 4 lbs. in that one week.(he weighed 98.5 lbs. when we got him). So, OK what gives?? Is this normal? Like I said, he's our first male dog, so if this is something that is typical, let me know. Thanks! J.
