Hey!
I have a female cat who neutered herself the day before yesterday with steel wire.
Now my question is this, when should you remove the compress she has on her stomach?
I am so insecure and do not want to remove it too soon but at the same time not too late as wounds have to ventilate etc.
Feels scary even when she is not wearing a collar.
Will she lick the wound a lot?

Hi Danielle!
The cat does not always receive a compress on the wound and if this is the case, it is best if your veterinarian can tell you when it is appropriate to remove the compress.
If the cat is licking the wound even though it is steel sutures, you may need to use a collar anyway.
Hope everything went well with your cat!
