My spayed feral cat now has swelling after surgery. What to do?

Question

I care for a feral cat she lives in my garden I recently got her spayed. I took her to a clinic she stayed over night at the clinic. She was quite active on return but I wasn't able to keep her confined to a room (runs away or escapes) She now has a swelling. Managed to get a photo here. I have shown a vet. She's prescribed me anti boitics and anti inflamatoties if no better in 2 days I am to take her in. She is eating normally. Seems normal not in pain. There is no hotness puss or redness. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Salem. The swelling is large so I am glad that you contacted her veterinarian. I would give the newly prescribed medications as directed. It is good news that she is eating and acting normal. I agree that she should be rechecked if that swelling has not significantly decreased in the time frame given to you. It is really best if you can find a way to confine her. A large dog crate may work if it is big enough for food, water and a litter box. If she starts to act ill or the swelling increases, then she will need to see an emergency veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
