My cat recently got spayed and I am noticing this tiny little bump. The day I picked her up it was already looking like this. Should I be worried or is it just the way it is healing?

Okay well since then I feel like it has gotten worse. It looks scabbed over but is extremely irritated and pink. It is not hot to the touch and does not have a smell.It looks fine, healing well. There is usually a lump or two after the operation, nothing to worry about as they will disappear in time. Just watch for redness, weeping or a bad smell. If you are unsure, you could send a clear photo to your vet for his opinion.

Took her to the vet. It is a little infected so caught it on time. She was given oral antibiotics and I bought her a metal crate with her favorite blanket so she is not bouncing around like she normally does. So far she has been content and a sweet girl.I am so sorry I had to be away for a couple of days. How is she now? It does look a bit inflamed. Is she wearing a cone? If not, it could be from her over-grooming the area. I'd give your vet a call, and see if you can email the photo to him to see if she should come in. It isn't HORRIBLE yet, by a long shot, but redder than I'd ideally like to see.
YESSSS she is.Is your cat polydactyl?
