Doctor, how is this wound healing? It’s been 4 days since spaying and the cat still licks it sometimes—does it still need the Elizabethan collar?

Expert Answer

The wound is covered by medication so I can’t assess it, but if there’s no pus it’s generally fine. The silver-ion powder you applied blocks bacteria and lowers infection risk.

Keep the collar on for 10 days until healed, to stop licking from slowing healing.
