My cat has a stomach lump after neuter surgery. Is this normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 8.8 lbs

My cat just got fixed today 5-16-19. Now he's home and has a big knot in the middle of his stomach. Is that normal? Please help, I'm very worried about him

Neutering is done directly on the testicles meaning he shouldn't have anything abnormal on his stomach unless he had an abdominal testicle removed. i would recommend uploading a picture so we can see what you mean.
