My cat had a uterine infection. Is her large spay incision normal?

Question

Recently got my cat spayed. She had about a pound of infection in her uterus so the incision is especially large. I just want to know if this looks about normal? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 8.3 lbs

I see a little redness and maybe some yellow discharge? Always watch incisions for any redness, swelling or discharge. If anything like this is seen, Robin needs to be examined by the veterinarian. That's great news that all that infection is out of her body but she's not completely out of the woods until the incision is fully healed. That's why it's best to play it safe. She also needs restricted activity - no running or jumping. She also needs to wear an elizabethan collar at all times. I hope this helps.
