Spaying is a common practice for many pets. While complications are rare‚ it’s still important for cat owners to know how to respond to them in case something goes wrong. One of the most common complications is slight opening of the incision. While minor openings usually aren’t causes for alarm‚ you should still contact or visit your veterinarian just to be safe. Your veterinarian can determine if the incision requires additional attention. How Are Spay Incisions Closed? Most spay incisions are closed with sutures. Once the spay surgery is completed‚ veterinarians will close the incision spot with sterilized stitches. Those sutures may be visible or buried in the layers of the skin. Most cats don’t face complications with recovering from spay surgery. Image Credit: De Visu‚ Shutterstock What Does a Spay Incision Look Like? A healthily recovering spay incision site will appear pink or slightly red during the first few days. You may also see some bruising around the incision‚ and this bruising can appear a couple of days after the surgery. Small amounts of bleeding from the incision are also normal‚ as long as it’s within 24 hours of the surgery. Any excessive swelling or lumpiness‚ redness lasting past the first few days‚ bleeding or oozing or odor should be looked at by a veterinarian. What Causes Spay Incisions to Open? Most causes of spay incisions opening are attributed to overactivity.  Jumping‚ running‚ and excessive stretching can cause incisions to open and bleed. Therefore‚ it’s recommended for cats to rest for 7 to 14 days to give time for the incision to heal. Also‚ keep in mind that sutures for spay incisions need to remain in place for at least 10 to 14 days. If your cat has buried sutures‚ they will absorb and there’s no need to remove them. Ask your vet if you have any questions about your cat’s spay incision sutures. Licking or scratching at the incision can also cause it to open. If your cat is persistent about touching the incision site‚ you can have them wear an Elizabethan collar or cover the incision with a surgery recovery suit until healed. Lastly‚ it’s important not to bathe your cat or get the incision wet while it heals. Disinfectants‚ creams‚ and ointments shouldn’t be applied to the incision unless they’ve been prescribed by your veterinarian. Products containing hydrogen peroxide or alcohol can cause cell damage and slow down the healing process. Image Credit: FrimuFilms‚ Shutterstock When Should I Be Concerned About Open Spay Incisions? It’s best to notify your veterinarian if a spay incision is slightly opened. Your veterinarian can examine the incision and determine if it can be left alone or if further treatment is required. Keep in mind that there are some cases in which you should contact your veterinarian immediately. For example‚ continuous dripping of blood or other fluids require veterinary care. You should also contact your veterinarian right away if you notice excessive swelling or redness around the incision or if your cat has removed the sutures on their own. Any discharge and bad odors require medical attention as well. Conclusion Overall‚ it’s best to play it safe and contact your veterinarian if a spay incision is opened‚ even if it seems small. This is because opened incisions can get infected and cause further health complications‚ as well as take longer to heal. After that‚ make sure to follow post-surgery care instructions‚ and your cat should have a full recovery and be up and active within a couple of weeks.

DisclaimerThis article has been reviewed for factual accuracy by a qualified veterinarian‚ using information available at the time of publishing. Cat owners are urged to consult with their veterinarian when making dietary decisions for their pet. This article is designed to provide general information but it does not take into account your pet’s health status or circumstances. Turkey and bacon are two legitimate meats in their own right‚ and each of these meats is popular with both humans and pets alike—even if our pets shouldn’t be eating them. Cats are known as obligate carnivores‚ meaning they must eat meat and cannot be vegetarian or vegan. Turkey is a healthy and lean poultry meat that has been used in feline diets and snacks for decades. Turkey is also cheaper than some other meats‚ contains good levels of protein‚ and is often gentler and easier for the gastrointestinal system to digest. Traditional bacon‚ on the other hand‚ is a much-loved food and treat‚ with no signs of its popularity decreasing. Really‚ who can resist the distinct smell while it’s cooking? So‚ when turkey bacon came along‚ it’s understandable to think that one has the best of both worlds. But is that true? And can your cat eat turkey bacon? Unfortunately‚ turkey bacon is one of those gray areas. While it isn’t toxic to cats‚ it ultimately is best to avoid feeding it to your cat for several reasons. What Is Turkey Bacon? Turkey bacon is a widely available processed meat made up of light and dark turkey meats‚ which are then seasoned like bacon and pressed into bacon form. Turkey bacon is thought to be a healthier option than pork and pork bacon due to the lower calorie and fat content. Furthermore‚ not only is it a very processed food containing added sugar and preservatives‚ but this meat is also very high in sodium (salt). Image Credit: Toasted Pictures‚ Shutterstock Can Cats Eat Turkey Bacon? Regular turkey meat is a great and healthy meat to offer your cat as a treat (as long as they are not allergic to it) or as the flavor of the main diet—turkey bacon‚ not so much. Turkey bacon might be desired by your kitty‚ and it’s true that it isn’t toxic or poisonous to cats. However‚ the problem with it is that turkey bacon is an unhealthy snack and meat to give to them. Turkey bacon is known for its salty taste; in fact 100g of turkey bacon contains 714 mg of sodium. Potentially‚ and especially if it is fed regularly or in abundance‚ feeding your cat this processed meat can lead to some dehydration due to all the salt. While it takes a lot of salt to cause health concerns in a healthy cat‚ cats with kidney disease may not be able to tolerate all the salt. Cats get enough salt in their cat food‚ so any extra is usually excreted as waste. Sodium nitrite is a preservative contained in turkey bacon‚ it is used in pet food in low concentrations determined by law and Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines. While the amount in turkey bacon is regulated to human standards‚ cats are small and the exact amount you are feeding your cat is hard to determine‚ but could be around 0.012% 1. Sodium nitrite has been linked to the death of three cats‚ so it’s best to exercise caution with human products containing nitrites 2. Image Credit: Nils Jacobi‚ Shutterstock The calories‚ fat and sugar in turkey bacon could lead to unwanted weight gain over time. Overweight cats are more likely to suffer with joint disease‚ diabetes‚ urinary issues‚ heart disease‚ hypertension and even cancer. Due to the associated disadvantages with turkey bacon‚ it is best not to feed it to cats and to opt for one of the many other alternatives instead‚ even though trying to ignore your cat’s longing face and paw taps for a piece of the tasty meat might be hard to resist! If your cat has eaten or is eating turkey bacon and displays any of the following signs‚ stop feeding the meat and contact your veterinarian for advice. Diarrhea Vomiting Nausea Pain/discomfort Bloating Gas Gurgling guts/extra noisy tummy Why Is Turkey a Good Meat for Cats? Turkey‚ when compared to turkey bacon‚ is a great food to give to your cat. This healthy food is a white meat belonging to the poultry family and is often enjoyed by plenty of cats worldwide. It is a common core ingredient of many of the complete feline diets you’d buy at your local store. Turkey needs to be fed cooked (warm or cold)‚ but it is low in fat‚ high in protein (and all the necessary amino acids)‚ and packed with other nutrients‚ such as the vitamin B complex‚ magnesium‚ potassium‚ zinc‚ and selenium. All in all‚ this meat helps to maintain a healthy body and‚ in particular‚ the digestive system. For most cats‚ it is easy for them to digest turkey and absorb all its nutrients. Turkey is commonly the meat of choice for those cats with allergies to other meats‚ or for those kitties with tummy and bowel problems. Despite the goodness of plain turkey meat‚ be sure to check with your vet that this human food is suitable to feed to your particular cat‚ in case of underlying health issues. Also‚ be aware that any extra treats or food offerings outside of their normal diet should not make up more than 10% of their recommended daily calorie intake. Image Credit: TarasBeletskiy‚ Shutterstock Conclusion Turkey bacon at face value may be a firm favorite in your home‚ but it is one best avoided by your cat. The calorie and salt levels are simply too high and can cause more harm than good‚ especially when its enjoyment is short-lived. It is not toxic to them‚ but given that there are many other better options available to offer‚ it is preferable to exercise caution and opt for the healthier alternatives.
