Hello, don’t know what to do. All vets are closed in my area and my kitten has been vomiting. She recently got spayed 4 days ago and I don’t want to put anything in the area but I think my kitten is in pain and I just don’t know what to do or if there’s anything I could do in the meanwhile. Is there something I should put on a cream, liquid???

Hello Pawschim Pawschim and sweet kitten, and welcome to TCS! Though it is hard to tell visually, if she is vomiting and seems to be in pain, I would strongly, strongly suggest a call to the vet immediately. Is the area red? Is there swelling and/or oozing from the site? I really can't tell from the photo whether there is a problem but with vomiting and pain, she should go back in right away, I think.

You need to see a vet as soon as possible, if that is pus coming out it isn't good and vomiting could indicate internal infection. For right now, clean the area and hold a warm compress on it. That will hopefully help it drain and keep it from getting worse on the surface. I wouldn't apply any creams or ointments, some are not safe for cats and even in humans keeping it clean is usually the safest route.
