Should I put cream on my dog's neuter stitches to prevent scars?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At least based on these pictures, this looks almost healed. It just has a small area that appears to be close to healing but not quite. While neosporin is ok, I think the main thing to make it completely heal is making sure that he is unable to get to it and chew or lick at it. Please make sure to use an e-collar to try to prevent this. If you are able to keep him from getting to his incision, I think you should be able to get it to heal. You can continue to use the neosporin as that may speed up the healing process. However, make sure to not pick at any scabs as that will usually delay healing. Good luck and have a good night!

No, I would not put these on Raider's incision, as he will likely try to lick them off. Many human ointments contain multiple other ingredients which are not necessarily safe to be swallowed. Dogs can eat and drink with a cone on, they do adapt, but if you take it off, monitor him very closely to keep him away from the incision. If he's scratching at it, you can get put a t-shirt on him to keep it protected or you can buy a medical pet shirt. Monitor the incision daily, and if you see any redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, or pus, it's infected and he will need to see a vet for treatment.

The incision looks good, it's healing normally and it is sealed. It looks like there might be some dirt on the incision. I don't like to scrub this but you can take a wet cloth and gently wipe the dirt off. Once it's clean apply a thin film of antibacterial ointment. As it's closed and healing Noise should not get an infection or problem from this. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Noise.

Some vets use a technique involving making an incision directly along the scrotum, and some vets use a technique involving an incision between the penis and scrotum. As long as it is kept clean and dry and Scooby wears a cone to reduce the risk of him licking the area, hopefully it should heal up fine, no matter what technique your vet used!

I would not apply neosporin as if licked it can cause digestive upset for Archie. I would however, still clean it up with the saline solution, and monitor the site for any swelling, open wounds, etc. You can also use a warm compress a few times a day to help reduce any swelling as needed. If the area remains red even after care, continues to swell, or is painful or oozing debris, then scheduling a recheck with your vet is best.

That looks fine for the stage it's at. Rather than cover the wound with a bandage, I would put an e-collar or an inflatable collar on him that will keep him from licking at it, unless he's getting to it with his hind claws. In that case you can put baby socks on his hind feet to keep his claws from getting into the staples. If you do keep it covered, change the bandage daily or twice daily if the wound oozes a bit.

It is just red from him licking it. It looks fine. Just be sure to get the cone on him so that he cannot remove it. Typically lacing it through the collar and putting the collar on tight enough that you can only get two fingers between it and the neck will prevent them from removing it. I suggest you get this wound spray gel to put on it until healed. This should keep it from getting infected. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-wound-and-skin-hydrogel-for-pets I would not be worry about him getting it wet, that will not dissolve the sutures.
