My 6 month old cat was recently spayed. After the spay, she seemd fine; eating, drinking, urinating, defecating energetic. Five days later, I noticed that there was fluid seeping from the wound, took her to the vet and found out that she had licked her wound which caused a multi-organ system infection, the internal stitches had come undone. She had to have another surgery to remove necrotic tissue and fluid and replace the stitches. My question is, is it dangerous for a cat to lick her spay incision wound? Had I known this, I would have kept a cone on her until it healed, however the vet did not warn me about her licking.
