Cat Neuter Incision Site

I neutred my cat on december 12 and noticed some swelling and redness today. I was just wondering if this is normal or should i be concerned? He is not in any pain.

It does look a little red to me. I would expect it to have healed more after 6 days.Are you able to send the photo to your vet and ask his/her opinion.

That would be my advice, as well. It's a bit more red than I'd like to see at this point.

Yes it seems more red than normal. I'd contact your vet.
