What are the signs of infection in my cat's C-section wound?

Question

Is this wound infected? My cat had a cesarian. I want to know if the stitch is infected. Please advise me further

Ussually, when a wound is infected, there is reddening, pain and heat along the incision. Sometimes there is a discharge. Your photo is, unfortunately, not clear enough to tell whether there is a discharge from the incision. If there is you will need to take your cat for a recheck to the vet. If the yellow coloring is ointment or disinfectant, then the wound looks fine and you do not need to take your cat back to the vet until the stitches come out.
