She's 5 months old and got spayed yesterday. The top of the incision is closed with glue so there are no actual stitches exposed. I know you're not supposed to let them mess with the incision, but she has made dangerous for her to wear anything that stops her from reaching it by completely freaking out running/flailing/banging into things whenever anything is on her. Other than it being dangerous I don't want to make her wear things and make her stress worse when I've never seen her even close to this miserable... So my past 24 hours have just been me having to constantly watch her and stop her from licking her tummy (other than the times I tried to make her wear something) and I'm exhausted
I'm wondering now if the advice to not let them mess with the incision is for cats that are doing it more obsessively or actually biting it. All she does is occasionally try to lick it. Is that okay? Would she be okay if she licked it while I was sleeping and I couldn't stop her?
If I need to keep stopping her, at what point is it healed enough that I can relax more about it?
Help please!
