Is my cat's neuter incision healing okay 6 days after surgery?

Yes, you can see some redness. It looks like Chandler's incision has opened a little bit, but not too much. Continue to restrict his activity and if it gets redder, there's swelling, and/or the incision opens all the way up, have him seen by a vet.

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!

The incisions do not appear to be infected in the images supplied. Confirm all three cats have e-collars (cones) in place to prevent licking. The cones should stay on for at least 10-14 days post op. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, odor, excessive bruising, active bleeding or discharge.

Restrict his activity if possible. That may allow for more rapid healing. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, excessive bleeding or discharge and fever. If Gary is behaving normally and eating normally, then he should, indeed, be fine and healing uneventfully.

I don't see any signs of infection, and while it appears a little bit of the incision is open (maybe the glue didn't stick correctly), it's doesn't appear deep or big enough to be concerning. Continue to monitor him.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Oliver. The incision site appears slightly red in color. However, there is no discharge visible and I do not see areas that appear to be opening. I think that it is healing very well. Please keep the collar on him at all times to prevent any further licking. He should heal up very well. I hope this information helps!

Oh Chandler, what a naughty kitty. They are so good at removing their cone! It looks like there is a little prolapsed tissue there likely from where he opened the incision. As long as he keeps his cone on overnight it will likely be okay to see you vet tomorrow. They can then make sure he doesn't need a suture and/or antibiotics.
