My cat had a tubal and abortion on Tuesday, May 26. Wed she had additional staples and glue due to her pulling staples out as well as shot of antibiotics that is supposed to work for 2 weeks. Yesterday they removed an inner suture and added another staple. I called this morning to say I noticed some drainage. They said if looks worse by Monday to return. Thoughts? The flash of the camera makes it look worse than it does with naked eye. She has a great appetite and is playful.

The skin around the incision is not red, which is a good sign.
Were you able to send a picture to the vet?

For now I would gently clean the drainage away using plain water on a soft cloth or cotton pad. If the drainage increases or you start seeing redness around the staples, get her back to the vet.

Thanks. I was not able to send a picture. I am hoping she is much better by Monday. Thanks for your reply.
