Blood at cat incision 9 DAYS LATER!

[HarryH22]

Hello all. So I woke up today and my kitten who got spayed 9 days ago. Had managed to take off her onesie (AGAIN) and it looks like she's been going for her incision. However, the vet is closed today and tomorrow but tomorrow is the last day for her stitches as they dissolve. Would you be concerned with this? If so what shall I do in the mean time

It should be fine, as long as there isn't heavy bleeding, and it doesn't look like it. Just put on an antibiotic salve, human, without pain killers, and it should be fine. I have had cats open up more than that, and though it took longer they were fine. Try to get the little stinker to keep on her onesie for a couple of more days. You can also get a cat wound spray at a local farm supply store, like Tractor Supply or Orscheln's, that has bitters in it to prevent licking. apply it by soaking a small piece of cloth, cats hate the spraying sound.
