Hello! I had my 2-year-old German Shepherd neutered last Thursday, 5/16. He was given carprofen for pain and trazodone/gabapentin for sedation, as he’s extremely hyper.
We’re following the medication directions, and now he only has the sedation pills left. I’ve been checking the area daily, and today I noticed more bruising, and his scrotum has swollen a bit more than it was two days ago. CONTINUE BELOW
He’s acting fine—eating, drinking, and using the restroom without any issues. His activity level is still low, and I’m only taking him outside for potty breaks. Is this swelling and bruising normal? I might be being overly cautious, but he’s my baby, and I would hate for something to be wrong.
The vet mentioned that if the swelling gets larger than it was before the neuter, I should bring him in, but that’s not the case right now. CONTINUE BELOW
