Can my spayed cat safely play with a young kitten after surgery?

I would wait a full two weeks before allowing Zoii to play vigorously so I think you can start allowing her to play normally again soon. You should be able to bathe her now that her sutures are removed as long as her incision has healed well.

From the pictures, Chicles' incision looks great! Occasionally, a scab will linger over the incision until it falls off or is licked off, and this is quite normal. Since she is 13 days post-surgery, you can gradually allow her to increase her exercise level by being out of the single room for a few hours for a few days, before allowing her to return to her normal lifestyle. I hope this helps and that all continues to go well! :-)

Yes, 2 weeks should be sufficient time for the surgery site to heal. You can also bathe Snowball now if you want. Just keep an eye on the incision to make sure it continues to heal well. Let her increase her activity level slowly over the next few days and she should do great.

That could be some bruising or irritation The incision itself appears to still be intact though. As long as Rosey is behaving normally, you can likely wait until tomorrow to have her rechecked by your veterinarian. Keep the e-collar (cone) in place and restrict her activity as much as possible. If she develops bruising anywhere else or becomes lethargic, then a visit to the ER would be recommended.

I would say if there are no signs of either, it's fine to continue to monitor Artemis. I do think having her seen by a vet to be safe is best, however, whenever you can get her in. It only becomes dangerous if you see the signs and don't get her in right away. Best of luck.

I would recommend keeping her confined for at least the first 72 hours but it may need to be longer depending on how energetic she is. Making sure she stays quiet and is not allowed to jump up and down on furniture is paramount for at least the first week after surgery. Keeping a cone on her so she doesn't get at her stitches is important too. I'd recommend keeping a cone on her until she gets her stitches out.

It does not appear wide open, is not red and is not bleeding or draining. It looks good for 6 days post op. Monitor for redness,swelling, discharge, bleeding or for dehiscence (opening). Monitor also for lethargy, loss of appetite or fever. These are all symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
