Cat neuter incision infected? Licking and weird poop normal?

It is not quite normal, however it is possible that he was licking the incision and aggravated it. If he keeps licking, it will not heal like it should and he may even lick bacteria into the wound. You may want to put an e-collar on him so he cannot reach the wound. It should then heal without problem.

It's ok! There is some swelling but I don't see any sign of infection, bleeding, or break down of the incision. Put the Ecollar back on Cake, rest him as much as possible. and have him seen by a vet in the morning.

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.

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.

I would get a soft paper collar at PetCo that you can tighten so he can’t remove it. If it’s been a day or two then go back to his normal litter. I don’t want to break his litter box training, and he could develop a urinary problem if he’s not going regularly. If the incisions are closed then the litter won’t be an issue. In a few days the incisions will heal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Hunter.

Poor pup! That area is very inflamed and may be infected. Keep the dogs separated and make sure your dog wears his elizabethan collar at all times. Get him seen by his veterinarian within the next 24 hours as he may need antibiotics. Make sure to keep him from any activity as well such as running or jumping. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It does look like the incision may be infected. I would have this checked out as soon as possible with a veterinarian. If Charlie has been seen licking it, even once, he should wear an e-collar to prevent spreading bacteria and to avoid a problem with healing. Constipation after surgery can be caused by some types of pain medications, or may be from pain caused during the squatting process. This is also something to discuss with your vet. If Charlie is not on pain medications, then he may need to start them. If he is on pain medications, they may need to be changed or discontinued.
