There's three layers of dissolvable sutures on her, with an external non-dissolvable one. She had opened her stitches once before for which she had to have an emergency repair surgery 7 days ago.
She has been quite active in the past couple days as I've taken her for vet visits. So, maybe it is...
Guys I am so confused and having a panic attack right now. I don't know if I should just trust the vet I have here or go to another city... Going to another town would mean a complete panic for my cat too. It is Day 5 and she is still shivering a bit, purring on her own, and stretching its legs...
I did yesterday only. It is 4 AM here right now today. The vet keeps saying that she is recovering and the irritation from the hair growth and incision healing might be causing her to be like that... I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really worried about my cat's health. @sivyaleah
Okay thank you! I would like to add that my cat is shivering from time to time and stretching its legs and throwing them up in the carrier. This is a video from yesterday... Is this a sign of healing or something bad? Please let me know.
Hello @LTS3 Yes, they meant the Betadine anti-septic solution (your 2nd mention). So, is that safe to use on the infected spay incision? If it is then why is @fionasmom saying to not use one that has pain relieving ingredients in it? Getting into a dilemma!
She is refusing water and food at times, but when she sees her treats she does eat it. I would say she is eating, but just enough to get her system going. The same for water.
In addition, @fionasmom you said to not use any topical creams or liquid that contain pain relieving ingredients but Betadine, the one recommended by the vet officially says this: "Betadine cold sore paint pain relief formula contains: an antiseptic ingredient which helps check the infection...
Thank you for the reply @di and bob
Are there chances this infection can transform into something deadlier, like sepsis or something? I'm very-very stressed about this and my cat is seemingly too... :/
It wasn't a big area where the pus was coming from. It was at the top of the incision, however. The vet said that 80% of her incision was healed, only 10 and 10 left at the top and the bottom, and then the infection comes in.
Since, I do not know much I searched about it online after coming...
