Kitty Spay

[mmiller0]

Hello!
I got my 6 month old kitten spayed on the 8th of January and she has been in a cone since. As her incision looks to be healing well, I was curious if I could now remove it or if some licking would cause issues still.
Any information is much appreciated!

Hi, do you think your cat will lick the spot when the cone is removed?
Some vets wear that cone on the cats only for precaution, but those cats are not interested in the incision.
If your cat reaches for the incision often, I will keep the cone on one day more. The incision looks very good to me.

All you can really do is take off the cone and see what happens. I agree that the incision looks great! As an aside, many cats do get spayed and never even wear a cone, so I think you should be fine. Just keep an eye on her. I'm guessing she'll want to check it out, but hopefully she won't bother it too much.

I think it's okay to take the cone off. The incision looks like it's closed up and the hair has already started to grow back.
