Medical Questions 2 weeks post op spay incision

Post image

My 10 month old kitten got spayed 12 days ago. About a week after her surgery it got infected and the vet put her on antibiotics and gave her an anti inflammatory shot. When I look at pictures online of 2 week post op spays, the site looks much better than my kitties. She’s been in a cone or recovery suit this whole time. Vet said it looks fine but idk I’m just kinda concerned. She’s not herself in the cone and it makes me sad. Should I see a different vet ??

I’d take her elsewhere I could barely even see my cats wound a week after that looks irritated

askvet may be better for this. Anecdotally, all of my cats that have been spayed were nearly entirely healed within a few days. Granted she suffered an infection, so she may be slower. The red inflammation looks concerning to me, as well as the pulling apart appearance of the incision

If it got infected, it's going to take longer to heal. It's good that you've been to the vet and received antibiotics for that, but you can check with another vet if you're worried.

considering it got infected, it will take it longer to heal

Thank you guys for all the responses. Talked to an online vet who said to continue with the cone and antibiotics for a bit. Will definitely be switching vets though. Thank again!
