If you do not clean the stitches, I would not be supised if the stitches got infected or if your cat was not careful and they caught on something.

How do you stop a cat from licking stitches after spaying?

You can get your pet a cone for around$10-$15, it will prevent dog from licking stitches. (My dog licked her stitches and got 4 staples with no anesthesia)


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.

Why does your cat have no stitches after being neutered?

The reason for the stiches is so the opening (cut) can heal quickly. Your cat has not had stiches? Talk to your vet and compare your answers - but remember to play fair of what you say!

No, it does not hurt a cat to be picked up by the scruff of their neck, as long as it is done gently and properly. This is a natural way for mother cats to carry their kittens. However, it is important to support the cat's body when picking them up to avoid any discomfort or injury.
