My cat's neuter incision opened. Should I pay for a second surgery?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Phoenix. Every veterinary clinic is different, but I do not typically charge to take a quick look at an incision site. If a suture comes out, sometimes I will apply sterile tissue glue, but most of the time I will leave it open if it is a small defect. It is essential that he is not allowed to lick the site. Sometimes I will send home a cleansing solution or an antibiotic. I hope this information helps!

I hate to hear that this happened to Rusty. That looks like it is likely the subcutaneous tissue. Ideally that could be glued tonight with the sterile surgical glue. If you see anything coming through that looks like a tube, you need to be worried. I recommend to call the clinic and see if you can run him back in. Better to deal with things tonight rather than wait for the tissue to dry out- which still might be ok but not ideal. Best of luck with the little guy!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Neptune. Poor kitty! That does look open and irritated, and think he needs to see a vet now to have this restitched. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Unfortunately, there is no way to share photos on the forum, but you can request a consult with an expert online to share as many photos are you'd like and receive more in-depth help. After almost a week of healing, the wound shouldn't be opening back up, so I would have Kane seen by a vet to check this out. It may need to be closed again with more surgical glue or staples.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The wound is open, so please take Charlie back to your vets. They will likely put 2-3 stitches or close the wound with surgical glue. Wounds like this, particularity after orthopaedic surgery should be closed promptly, as leaving it for open healing carries risk of infection.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Axel. The incision does appear to have opened a small amount. It is likely fine, but I do recommend that he sees his veterinarian. You need to be sure that an infection is not starting. I hope this information helps!

This is definitely not normal, this requires a closer look to be taken by a vet, it might need to be repaired under sedation. this can wait for a normal vet apointment as long as it is no later than tomorrow morning.
