Hey. My 10 months old kitten was spayed on Monday. The wound looked fine, but now there is a slight leaking. It's transparent with a touch of blood. Now, the vet is closed until Monday but upon my request, he gave me his phone number to call in emergency. I am not sure if I should call him or not just yet. The area isn't red or swollen or sensitive, kittycat has her appetite and as active as could be (even too active if you ask me). I might be just overly worried.
The vet didn't give us any instructions for home. I have no reason to doubt his medical knowledge, but the problem is that he is not chatty, not even about related subjects (I literally have to go there well-prepared with a list and if I ask something he gives a professional reply but he would not bring it up himself). Anyway, he's a good vet but in the sense that he is okay for this place. Not the kind of ideal professional with loads of extra information. But generally speaking, where I currently live, he is just what people have a demand for, someone who does his job well but wouldn't lecture people about how to care for pets properly. Anyway, I didn't come here to complain about our local vets
Long story short: Bonnie acts perfectly fine, but her incision line is leaking a bit, transparent fluid with a tiny amount of blood. I guess it's due to over-activity and she might have licked it while I left her alone for some minutes. No swelling or redness. Area isn't hot or smelly. Should I rush to the vet immediately (IF he receives us at all at the weekend) or just keep monitoring her until Monday, when they are open and can have a check-up if necessary?
She didn't let me take a photo of the wound now (to wiggly and active at the moment), but that's how it looked like after the surgery
And here's Bonnie herself.
