Hello,
About a week and a half ago my 4 month old kitten got spayed. They gave her stitches on her abdominal wall, so that she wouldn't chew on them and then they closed her up with surgical glue. The stitches, I assume, will dissolve but I am noticing a scab-like thing on her tummy now. Is this normal? SHe doesn't seem to lick it that much and when she does I try to stop her. I think it may itch her and I hope that means its healing. Everything else is normal, she eats fine, poops and pees fine, normal activity...I just want to make sure that its not infected. It is not oozing....it just looks grosser than I think it should for a week and a half. Please let me know your thoughts
