How to see if a male cat is infected after de-sexing

The wound after de-sexing a male cat is located at the scrotum and does not require opening the abdominal cavity, so the wound is relatively small. In general, the chance of infection is relatively low. The main manifestation of post-de-sexing wound infection in male cats is localised swelling, accompanied by more exudate, such as blood, pus and mucus secretions. The swollen area can feel firm when touched, while the cat will experience heat and sensitivity. Later on, the centre gradually softens and appears to fluctuate, mostly suggesting that the interior is filled with a large amount of pus and prompt medical attention is recommended.
