About Jana Connell RVT, CVT
Expertise
I can answer most questions about small animal and wildlife care as well as small animal nutrition. I can also answer questions about all phases of dental care for small animals. I cannot diagnose diseases nor will I try to. That is only for a licensed Veterinarian to do. I DO NOT do birds (unless it is wildlife or songbirds) or HAMSTERS/GERBILS/CHINS/GUINEA PIGS so please submit these questions to the appropriate sections. I also do not know much about reptiles, so post those to the reptile experts also. Thanks!
Experience
I have over 35 years experience in the field of veterinary medicine. I specialized in small animals and did wildlife rehab for over 25 years, mostly raptors, squirrels and opossums. I am a nutritional consultant with 6 certificates from Hills Pet Foods, CNM and Purina.
Organizations
Audubon,World Wildlife Federation, American Society of Veterinary Dental Technicians.
Education/Credentials

Expert: Jana Connell RVT, CVT - 10/6/2008
Question
my cat got spade a week ago and i just realized there is a hard bump next to her incision. is that normal? she is acting normal, and the cut looks fine.
Answer
It is not unusual for a cat that has been recently spayed to have this lump form. It is a lump of fat usually that a suture isn't holding in well.
Sometimes the sutures dissolve too quickly leaving a muscle bulging a little.
If the incision looks fine and there is no drainage, then I wouldn't worry about it. Have the vet look at it when you take her in for her suture removal at 10 days.
