My dog, Archie, was neutered on Monday. Everything was going pretty well until last night. We gave him a dose of carprofen before bed and when I woke up this morning he had vomited and had diarrhea in his kennel. I figured this was a reaction to the pain meds. In the night he managed to get his cone off and was therefore able to lick the incision, but to what extent he did I do not know. Took him back to the vet this morning to inspect the incision and they gave him an anti-nausea, an antibiotic, and a probiotic, and recommended a cold compress, but said things look pretty good/normal. They also recommended we stop the pain medication since he was a full day+ post op and it was upsetting his stomach. He was up and moving this morning and was described as "bouncy" at the vet.
Since then he has not eaten and hardly moved and the swelling has increased. He was laying on his side with one leg up for a while indicating some discomfort in my opinion, so I gave him a half dose of the carprofen with a little food. He still isn't eating other than his favorite treats, won't touch his regular food.
How much swelling is normal? His scrotum and ***** area are significantly swollen but I'm not sure how much is normal. Is there anything else I should do? Take him back to the vet (it's 24/7)? I'm hoping it is just pain and the dose of pain medication will have him up and moving but am getting a bit worried.
Edit to add he's a 50 lb Malinois/pyranese/shepherd mix and 6.5 months old

the_batman26: I guess yall need this, its something to take pride in. At least the Feds trusted us with the Space Center; and I seem to recall the Feds not having the best time in Dallas.
