Cat spay wound not normal!!?!?

[Wendyhe0824]

She has a white belly so a lot of websites says that bruising and discoloration is normal but I’m just worried!! Please help and let me know if this is normal? It’s a little crusty from the dry blood. I see a lot of other photos of day 5 post op and it doesn’t looks as bad as my cat.

I got my cat spayed 6 days ago and it’s not healing the way other cats are healing on websites. She got a pretty small incision but it seems to not have any healing progress since the first day she came back. It’s bruised and crusty but it doesn’t seem to hurt her and no pus. Is this normal?

Hi
I'm not a vet, but that looks pretty good

Looks good to me. Is it warm or leaking?

No leaking, same temp as rest of body. Just crusty and bumpy.

This was her first day back from hospital. It’s been 5 days and it doesn’t seem to be improving? I see a lot of other cats after 5 days, their wound is practically healed. Is my cat taking longer to heal than others?

Looks ok to me. I'm not seeing any swelling or redness. No weeping either. I wouldn't compare what you see on websites since all vets have different methods of making incisions and suturing and appearance will vary. Plus some cats heal better/faster than others.

If worried, you can ask if your vet will accept photos via email to take a quick look but I don't see anything to be over concerned about.

Looks good to me too, quite normal for 5 days.
