Answer:
My male cat had to be opened in 2 places to neuter him, then had to return 6 months later and was opened again. The vet said the cat would try to remove the stitches himself while grooming and unless one got infected, I would not need to come back in. If, by some chance, any stitches remained when the wound was well approximated that the cat didn't remove, I could remove them with small embroidery scissors. Maybe because I was a nurse and had experience removing sutures he felt comfortable with me removing any that remained.

Your cat was just spayed and she is now licking her stitches Is this normal or should you go get an Elizabethean collar from your vet asap?

It depends how long after the cat was spayed (your vet would have given you instructions as to when to bring in your cat for a checkup.) I did put a small collar on my own cat because of her licking her stitches. Be sure there are no stitch ends poking into the cats skin. I would take the collar off when she was eating or drinking. Some vets disagree, but the saliva of cats and dogs is healing and they used this method when they were once wild. Some cats will heal quicker than others, so it wouldn't hurt if your cat started licking her stitches 3 - 4 days after being spayed to take your pet to the vets.


How can you tell if a cat is spayed?
