Is my cat's skin reaction or blister from a vet injection post-spay?

Question

can vet administered injections cause skin reactions? My cat has a bad blister and scab and it may be from an injection post-spay surgery or a wasp sting. It's hard to tell. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 5 lbs

Yes that could be due to a injection site reaction most likely. This type of skin reaction is usually self limiting and fur most of the times grows back. If not resolving in a weeks time or if getting swollen/inflamed/red/painful a vet check up is needed as abscess can sometimes build up and needs to be treated appropriately (lanced, flushed, disinfected). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
