I recently just spayed my 6 month old kitty,
and since she's long haired and still doesnt quite like to be held by us (adopted a few weeks ago), we couldnt really take a close look at the stitch until the second day.... and thats when i thought her stitches looked a little off. It doesnt look painful, just messy. Theres a loose thread at the end of the stitch and it sort of looks too tight? Like when you pull a fabric stitch and the fabric bunches up, but this is on skin! Which i thought was awful. As of today, there hasnt been any negative reactions around the stitching area e.g. swelling or bleeding but i'm just worried that the incision wont heal as well because of how it was stitched up.
I dont have a frame of reference for normal stitches except for google because this is the first time i've spayed a female cat and my other male cat obviously did not require stitches. Can anyone tell me if that type of stitch is normal? Or if i should be worried about this?
