Megan, Mittens and Moppet were spayed last Thursday. They were done underneath rather than on the side and I have noticed that the area where the cut is (the stitches are dissolvable and I can't see them) is swollen. It is a bit swollen on Mittens and very swollen on Moppet. The cut isn't infected and looks clean. Neither kitten minds me touching the area so I don't think it is sore at all. They are both still very lively, eating fine and purring as usual.

When I have cats spayed in the past I have never noticed any swelling but it has always been a cut on the side.

I didn't have the cats spayed at my usual vet as I got some help from a charity. It's quite a drive and because of work commitments it would be difficult to take them in but if they need to then of course I will - my fur family must come first.

At the moment my plan is to 'phone the vet first thing in the morning and ask their advice but thought I would ask here to see if anyone has any ideas?

I am feeling really worried about them and hope nothing has gone wrong.
