My cat was spayed, a dissolvable stitch is visible. Is it normal?

Question

Hello, my cat was spayed last week Thursday (9 days ago) and she has been fine. Then she licked herself just and a stitch is visible. We were advised by the rescue centre they are dissolvable stitches if this is any use. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 6 months and 10 days old | 9.3 lbs

If the incision looks fine MooMoo should do well. The stitches usually take up to 3 to 4 weeks to completely dissolve depending on the brand used. If her incision is still healing, it's not red, has no discharge and it's not painful to the touch continue to monitor her as you have been doing. I also recommend contacting the shelter that spayed her tomorrow and finding out if they want to see her or not.
