Post Spay Incision Concern

[Raven Orien]

My cat is 6days post spay. I am concerned about how her incision looks. Pic 1 she is on her back. Pic 2 she is reaching up toward a toy.
To me, it looks like the incision has opened at the top. Vet time?

I do have a vet apt tomorrow. Just want to make she emergency care is not needed.

I am sorry that this did not receive a reply sooner. Your second post (not your fault) made the thread appear as if someone had responded. Yes, you need to see the vet about this. Let us know what you were told.

Thank you for your reply! I was concerned I was being an overly cautious mom. I was able to get to the vet the next day. She had indeed reopened the incision. The vet said it had already started to heal so they could not put another stitch to pull the incision back together. Instead she received another shot of antibiotics and get to be the height of style in a cone. The cone is not to come off until there are no scabs left. Here is a picture of what it looks like today. And, of course the cute cone.
