Black crust on my cats incision

[Putrimillenia]

My cat got neutered on Tuesday August 17th and now it's 21st august. I'm worried bc the incision looks so crusty. He's really active and he also eats a lot but I'm trying my best to limit is activities and last night he took his collar off and idk how he did that and I just found out this morning, he obviously licked his incision and I'm worried. Does this look normal?

It actually doesn't look bad. I don't see any undue swelling or redness...no oozing of puss. I do see some scabbing and a tiny bit of dried blood and serum, which is normal for a surgical site. I think your boy is fine.

Thank you so much, this makes me feel a lot better. I was so worried when I found out that he took his collar off. Thank you again
