My kitten was spayed 7 days ago. She seemed fine, licked at her wound a little (mostly the first night, but I kept distracting her), but I haven't noticed obsessive licking.
2 nights ago I looked at her belly and thought it looked a little bit behind where it should be in the healing process. I didn't have the cone on her because she panicked and I was worried about her injuring herself, so yesterday I bought her a baby onesie to make sure she isn't licking her wound.
Since it wasn't enough to cause dripping or anything like that, I didn't notice until yesterday that she has some brown discharge coming from the wound. Other than that it seems fine: the actual incision a little pink but not bright red (looks just like a normal healing wound to me), no redness around the incision, a slight lump but it's not hot, etc. Should I be concerned about this?
I plan to take her to the vet soon but there were no appointments today and I can't tomorrow during normal hours. If this can wait two days till Thursday I'd prefer to take her then, but if it's an emergency obviously I'll see if a vet can fit her in for emergency today. If I'm cleaning her wound area and leaving her onesie on, should I be concerned about waiting 1.5-2 days before going to the vet? Thanks!!
