My cat's spay incision is bleeding a little. Do I need to see the vet?

Question

Our cat is 3 days post- spay, and has been miserable in her cone, so we tried out a tube stock instead. She was immediately more alert, and we struggled to keep her from climbing everywhere and being active. We noticed a tiny spot of blood on the sock a few hours later, along with a tiny amount of dried blood around her incision. There is a small amount of swelling that may have been there prior, no pain on palpation or change in behavior. Should we go in to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

I would keep an eye on Mayla's incision for now. If the swelling increases or you see more blood, then yes take her into the vet. I would also put the cone back on her. It seems to help keep her less active, which is vital for her healing. Best of luck.
