Is it safe to remove my cat's e-collar one week after neuter?

Question

My cat was neutered last Friday I just want to know if everything looks okay and if I’m able to remove his e-collar already for good ? Since it’s already been a week. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | 2 years and 7 months old

From what I can see in your picture I think everything looks good, but it can sometimes be difficult to evaluate from a picture alone. I typically recommend waiting at least 10 days until removing the e-collar but some vets might recommend more or less time. I think it would be best to follow your vet's instructions. If they didn't specify you should wait to remove the e-collar until you can contact them.
