Hi, I got my cat spayed about a week and a half ago and I am getting worried about her incision. It has been scabbing and I attached pictures of what it now looks like. She has been acting perfectly fine and has been very active. I was wondering if I needed to be worried and take her to the vet or if it should heal fine. Thanks!

Hi!
I think it will be ok but I'm not a vet - is that a little swelling on the right hand side (as I'm looking at the photo)?
Would your vet let you send in these photos so they can see them?

Update: She has now tore the scabbing off a bit and it now looks like this.

It does not look infected, a bit red'ish and swolen, which happens with ours skin also when we have a cut, maybe a bit of dirt got in/on/around it. Make sure it stays clean, don't let her bite it (she might lick it, which is normal and helps the healing), if it starts swelling too much or look infected see a vet.
Good luck

Looks good, keep it clean.
