My puppy was neutered Friday of last week (3 days ago). So far he has had no access to his incision site, has not licked it and has always maintained his cone on. I noticed that his incision site for his cryptorchid testicle looks a little weepy, as shown on the photo. Aside from that, the area isn’t swollen and doesn’t hurt him when I palpate around it. Does this look like an ‘ok’ surgical incision?

Since retrieving the retained testicle is a little more invasive than a regular neuter, it's not unusual for there to be some puffiness and a little oozing, especially if he's feeling good and is moving around. If he seems fine otherwise and the site continues to improve, I would keep an eye on it. You may want to call your vet and maybe send them this pic to get their opinion, but I don't see anything to be alarmed about. If he loses his appetite, acts like he's not feeling well, if the site gets red, hot, oozes blood or pus, get him in to see your vet right away.
