Hello! Please advise…
My kitty is Teddy Bear, she is 8 months old and she was spayed on April 14th. She developed a small bump/lump around her incision area today (April 24th). It is squishy like a water-balloon, not hot, or painful to touch.
My kitty is acting VERY normal, has not lost appetite, wants to be active and extremely playful. Bowels are normal too.
I have provided a photo of her incision and the small lump that developed (she is laying down here so the lump may not be too visible, but is approx. one inch). If anyone can please advise?
Thank you so much for your time and assistance!

I also have been doing research on seromas and will keep an eye out for any alarming symptoms. So far, she is acting very normal and the site doesn’t bother her. I have restricted activities by placing her in a small enclosed… Read more »
