So my Bun got neutered 4 days ago. Today I took off his e-collar for him to eat his food. And he took off his stitches. The wound was already closed and no blood is oozing from there. Is it bad ? Is there gonna be any issue?
Because of some sudden COVID restrictions I can't take him to the vet. The vet told me if not blood oozing out its gonna be fine. But I am still scared.
 
As long as the wound is completely closed and stays that way, it should be ok. It's when the skin is split and there's an open wound that it becomes a problem and needs to be restitched. You should keep a close eye on it to make sure he doesn't keep messing with it and open it up, and also continue to restrict movement(no running or hopping up on things) for several more days to give it more time to heal well.
