Cat neutered yesterday, still bleeding and wound looks bad. Normal?

Question

My cat Yuki was neutered yesterday morning. Doctor said she didn't put stitches. And said he doesn't need a surgery cone. But he was licking the area so the day after i got him one. He moves around, eats, uses his litter. But I feel like the surgery area was looking better yesterday. It is been 36 hours since surgery but he is still bleeding. We see drops of blood over here and there. And the area doesn't look good to me. I am really worried. Is this normal? I attached photos. Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 8 months and 2 days old | 13.6 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on the photos you provided, I would recommend having the veterinarian take a look at this. This should be cleaned up with an antiseptic solution and potentially closed using stitches. I would also consider an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. A plastic cone should be used if Yuki is licking. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please remember to rate this answer as helpful or not. Thank you!
