Post spay incision lump

[gr8britgirl]

Hello, My kitten was spayed on Wednesday, 11/30, and today I noticed a lump had developed underneath the incision. Is this normal it should I be concerned

?

Hi, Welcome!
I'm not a vet but from what I understand, it's possible that the lump will eventually dissipate on its own although this one looks a little large. Will your vet allow you to send that photo in to them?

Hi, thank you! I'm going to call the vet Monday morning, she has also vomited a couple times and is not eating. I'm really worried about her

she has also vomited a couple times and is not eating.

oh, baby girl!
Honestly, it seems that things like this always happen on the weekend. See if you can get her to lick some beechnut meat baby food from your finger which might help her to become more interested in food

In my opinion, since it's 4 days since the spaying, I personally don't think it's normal for a natural reaction to the surgery to show up after such a long time.
I'd send the photo to your vet as soon as possible.

I actually tried that and she took a few licks, but that was it. I also tried lickable treats on top of her wet food, she is just not really interested.

The same really, she still has little to no appetite I will be taking her to the vet in the morning.

Keep trying with the meat baby food, even a little bit is better than nothing.
How does the incision area look?

I gave her more meat baby food and she took a couple more licks
The incision area still has a lump and is a little swollen, but there is no redness, puss, or blood, and stitches are still in place.

Is the lump warmer than the rest of the area?

It doesn't feel like it to me.
