How to tell if my cat's surgical incision is healing correctly?

Question

My cat had exploratory surgery done two days ago. I get very nervous with incisions, I caught him licking once and out a cone on him so he no longer could. Does the incision site look like it is healing properly?? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 11 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Oliver. The incision site appears slightly red in color. However, there is no discharge visible and I do not see areas that appear to be opening. I think that it is healing very well. Please keep the collar on him at all times to prevent any further licking. He should heal up very well. I hope this information helps!
