One of my kittens had a hysterectomy last Saturday (8 days ago) and I think some of the outermost stitches came out. The wound is around 1/4th of an inch; maybe less. It's about half as wide. It's not oozing or anything but the inside of it looks bloody (hasn't actually bled, though.) It seems to be scabbing now, and it feel like there's a tiny, hard ball underneath the wound. 

My mom was saying that I shouldn't be worried and we don't need to take her to the vet (I'm more of a mom to these cats than she is, honestly lol) Should I be worried about this?

Here's another picture of a cat after a spay at nine days.  Does it look anything like this?  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/286608/possible-spay-infection

It's been over 30 years since I've been around a newly spayed female, so I honestly can't remember, but I would think after 8 days the would should be healed over.  If I were you, I'd at least CALL the Vet and ask them what they think after you describe it to them.
