I just got my cat Misty spayed on Friday and have been checking the incision for problems daily and everything. I know she isnt suppost to lick her incision but she grooms herself a lot even when I try to get her to stop. I would get her an elizabethan collar thing but I know she would just freak out and rip it off. She doesnt even tolerate a regular collar id tag. My question is should I really worry about it? Is there anything else I can do to keep her from licking the incision? So far it looks fine just the incision itself is red and there is a little clear crusty stuff around it which I assume is the glue they put on it.
Also, I have been keeping her in my room since the surgery to keep activity to a minimum. My roomate has a neutered male cat and I was told to keep her away from males because she may try to breed and this can be dangerous. Should I keep her in my room for a while or is it ok to let her out in a few more days?
