Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Male | neutered | 10 months and 13 days old | 8.818 lbs
I got my cat neutered 2 days ago and this is what the incision looks like is it ok? or is it infected? Plus he’s over grooming his body and licking his penis and the incision but he’s active and like before and he’s eating but his poop like separated small balls even though I’m feeding him wet food. This is my first time having a cat I’m worried

I am a bit concerned about the incision, it could be infected. I'd have Cake seen by a vet to get it looked at. Until you get him into a vet, put an Ecollar on him to keep him from licking the area. You can get one at a pet store or make one at home.

Thank you for submitting your question. I would recommend that he sees his veterinarian to check his incision site. It is difficult to say without seeing a picture, but based on your description an infection is certainly possible. In addition to discharge, an infected incision site will be red, swollen and painful or hot to the touch. In the meantime, be sure to prevent him from the licking the area. I hope this information helps!
