Yay for Baxter I just posted a reply to your other post as well. I’m glad to hear he is home and nibbling on hay already, that is a very good sign that he will be back to normal quickly. I’m glad you decided to go through with it, and I’m sure Baxter is too so that he can get a girlfriend one day.

awesome!

feel better Baxter!

Nixon was really swollen down there too. The vet said sometimes it just happens. I think as long as it’s not super red or oozing, you shouldn’t worry too much. Does it seem to be bothering him a lot? If you’re overly concerned give the vet a call.

Are you able to take a picture and post it on here? It’s hard to tell someone what’s swollen-like to me it might not be swollen and someone else may say really swollen or a little…Anyways a pic we’d be able to tell better.

Swelling may also be caused by the area filling with fluid which sometimes happens after a neuter.

I think a good way to tell if it’s an infection or just the body healing-their should be two incisions correct-one for each testicle? Are they both identical in appearance and swelling? If yes, that’s probably healing. If no, that could be a prob and you should get the vet to look at it

I’d honestly say if both are the same it’s probably OK. Especially if they have gone down.

If one is black and blue-how black and blue? I don’t think I’ve seen that before but it doesn’t mean it’s not normal or healthy healing…Can you phone your vet to get their opinion on it?
