Meg kitten had her spay op last week and they did it underneath her rather than on the side (which I think is called a mid-line spay?). I think it's just as the head vet is an Aussie vet and that's the way she likes to do them
Meg had her post op check last Friday with the nurse and all was fine but there was some swelling at the base of the wound (it kinda sticks out like a little lump) and she said to just keep an eye on it really and that sometimes fluid can build up but she wasn't unduly worried
I've been checking the wound daily and the swelling has just stayed the same really
She's got to be in the buster collar until Friday and then it can come off but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience of post op swelling and how long it normally takes to go down? I thought if it's still the same by next week I might need to take her back? On the plus side the wound itself looks like it's healing up perfectly
