It can get very bad without the cat showing you how sick it is. mine still ate, drank and played like crazy, but she was actually very sick. I would take her to the vet as soon as possible. Best of luck
Thank you for responding! It looks a bit better today, but I still have a call into her Vet just to be sure. Waiting to hear back. Thanks again for your input!I would have her checked out. It looks like she did have some drainage from the site. This may indicate an infection. It is often hard to tell whats going on underneath. My little white cat had the same thing, they had to clean the site, a few times
good! its just hard to tell whats going on under the surface. I would much rather error on the side of caution and have the vet look at her to make sure. When my cat was going through her problems with the spay it never looked really bad, to us, just didnt look good or right to me. My husband kept saying wait, its fine.... lol i didnt wait i took her in, 3 different times, and there was infection, reaction to the suture materials, and disheasion. She had to have surgery 3 more times
A spay site should be clean and dry, no seepage or separating. Good luck with your girl.
Oh no, your poor baby to have to go through that. I too rather be safe than sorry. I spoke with the Vet, we are taking her in to be looked at just to be safe.good! its just hard to tell whats going on under the surface.

I have to say, it looks worse in the pictures than it does in person, but we will take her in to have the Vet take a look just in case. It concerns me because the incision was just fine and looked perfect up until yesterday. :-(
Good. Let us know what the vet says. Best luck!
The Vet says it’s not infected, just irritated. Willow has managed to find a way to lick herself with the cone on. She cannot reach the incision site, but the cone is rubbing against the incision when she licks. They said cold compress from time to time today, and warm compress tomorrow. They also suggested getting an inflatable “donut” cone from the pet store, that way there will be nothing rubbing against incision when she licks, which can eventually cause an infection. Hoping this works!
So glad to hear. Those donut cones are a miracle, in my opinion. I used one on my Great Dane when she had a hot spot on her bum. Can you imagine a 115 pound dog trying to navigate a rather crowded house with a cone on?
OMG, I wish I knew about the donut cone a week ago!!! So much better than the plastic cone. She’s much more comfortable in it. And, I don’t think we’d be having this incision issue had she had this from the beginning. The vet supplied the plastic cone. But, you live and learn. The vet had me send a close-up picture of her incision today, they said it looks fine, and to keep an eye on it.
