Dr Lim from the SPCA has responded to this case. Judging from the photos, she explained that the infection could be caused during surgery (such as an immune response to surgical materials) or post-surgery due to the cat licking/biting the wound or lack of hygiene in the environment. In any such case, the owner has the option of bringing the cat back to Klinik Kembiri for follow-up treatment or if Klinik Kembiri is closed, the owner can bring the cat to the SPCA as well.
As for vets who encounter such cases from Klinik Kembiri, the SPCA would also appreciate that vets give them the feedback.
Here’s Dr Lim’s response:
there is a swelling at spay site. This could be as a result of an immune response to foreign material (such as (i) sutures- purposefully introduced into the body or (ii)infectious agents or vehicles inadvertently introduced) that happened during surgery
The swelling could also be infection tracking in post-operatively. This can quite frequently as bacteria/ fungi etc are part of nature but can be minimized by cage rest and ensuring a clean environment generally for about five to seven days
licking can also result in redness and swelling, leading to suture breakdown.
owners are welcome to seek help at KK or SPCA Shelter when KK is closed. Outside of our opening hours, or for whatever reasons when both KK & Shelter vets are unreachable, other vets’ assistance may be sought
feedback from outside vets are most welcome, for tracking and improvement, that all parties can have clearer understanding.
