My cat was neutered 2 days ago. Is a bulge near incision normal?

The picture is difficult to make out, but it almost looks like a piece of body tissue hanging out. Was he recently neutered? If so I would recommend having a follow up appointment with your veterinarian to see if there is any infection or problem at the neuter site. Good luck and I hope he is back to normal soon.

This is not normal, however it does not look infected either. Usually there would be the scrotal skin over this little lump of fat. Wash your hands well with soap, dry them, and then use thumb and first finger to grab the fur either side of it and gently pull it over the lump. If you can manage to do this, there is nothing else to do and it should heal. Only try this once. Jordan is probably licking, so it may be a good idea to get an e-collar for him. If this does not change by Tuesday or looks pussy or very red, then you should take Jordan to the shelter vet for a recheck.

He may have a bleeding disorder and the scrotum may be full of blood again. It may also be infected or inflamed. Do not let your cat lick the scrotum as it irritates it and may introduce infection. If the swelling is cool, you can just observe it and over time it should shrink again and the body will have reabsorbed the blood. If the swelling is hot or painful or red, then you will need to take your cat back to the vet for a recheck.

Hello. This incision looks normal for a week after surgery. Some swelling like you are seeing is normal especially if they are active and playing. It is normally just some inflammation of the muscle wall and subcutaneous tissue. It can take a few weeks for this to resolve and flatten out, but it will.

This is definitely not normal, this requires a closer look to be taken by a vet, it might need to be repaired under sedation. this can wait for a normal vet apointment as long as it is no later than tomorrow morning.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Axel. The incision does appear to have opened a small amount. It is likely fine, but I do recommend that he sees his veterinarian. You need to be sure that an infection is not starting. I hope this information helps!

Some mild swelling is quite common but any pain, discomfort or discharge requires veterinary assessment. Monitor closely, it should reduce in size over 3-5days if fluid build up but may require surgical repair if not resolving
