My cat was spayed this morning but has managed to lick off her stiches and her suture has opened up exposing her insides.  Should I take her to emergency vet now or wait until first thing tomorow morning?  Please advise.  Thanks.

You need a cone to put over her head to stop her from licking it, but it sounds like she really needs to see the vet from your description ASAP!

I had a kitten once that ripped her stitches out the first day.

Take the cat back to the vet immediately. The insides can actually FALL OUT.

They will probably staple her up, and will def. put a cone on her.

This is an emergency, so taking her back right away is important!
Good luck!
