Is my cat's 7-day spay wound healing properly? What about the gap?

Question

Does my cats 7 day old spay wound look like it’s healing properly? I’m concerned about that little gap and can’t tell if it’s just a scab or if I should go to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 8 months old | 9 lbs

Hinand thanks for your request. The wound looks dry and does not seem inflamed at all. The small gap is not ideal of course but it will heal by second intention. If there is no discharge or discomfort when touched a vet consultation is NOT needed at this stage.
