My spayed kitten's wound is crusty with a new lump. Is this normal?

Question

Hi my kitten got spayed last week and she had her post op appointment where they saw her wound was quite crusty but there was no puss or blood or temperature or pain reaction or any sign of an infection but I've noticed that there seems to be a lump there that I'm not sure was there before and the crust is still there. I'm due back next week for a check up but should I go sooner? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 months and 30 days old | 4.5 lbs

If the lump is new then I would call the veterinarian and discuss it. It is very likely they would want her back in sooner if a swelling has started to appear in the last few days. It could be a simple hematoma which will resolve, but it better to be seen if possible. You can apply a cool compress to the area in the meantime. if she will tolerate it.
