Hi there guys,
riley got neutured a month and a half ago and he didnt have that much swelling after the appointment. Last night we noticed his sack unusually large and swollen and today it looks even bigger as if he had never gotten neutured (aka really swollen) we definetley taking him to the vet tomorrow but ive attached a picture and want to know what you guys think/if you had the same problem before with your pups! let me know

It looks serious to me.. Have you talked with a vet today?

**pammy4501** · 09-02-2010, 09:03 PM

It looks like a fluid collection in his scrotal sac. It could be blood or an infection, or just fluid. The vet may want to drain it. It dosen't really look infected. I think it's called a hydrocele.

Oh, poor baby. Praying for him. Please keep us informed on his status.

Ahhh poor Riley! I have no 'help' to offer but will be praying that it is nothing of concern! please keep us updated!

Sorry I can't help either. When Alex got neutered it did not look like this even tho they had to find the second testicle.

i made an appointment with the vet first thing in the morning, i just got home and his whole belly/legs are wet (hes been licking at it) so hopefully **** get help asap tomorrow morning, worst thing is i know he wont cooperate with the vet touching him there, he got all mad when we first took him in, hopefully he doesnt need the plastic e collar

Oh I hope the dear little boy gets better soon. I have two males neutured and have never seen that, but I'm sure your vet will know what to do. Hoping all goes well soon.

Poor little guy, how did it go at the vet's office this morning?

**Miss_Annie** · 09-03-2010, 12:15 PM

I hope it went well at the vets.

I'm worrying about the little guy...
