My cat jumped and fell of a wardrobe and im woreies about her stitches

Thanks for your question. I understand your concern; let's take a closer look at what's going on with your cat. Cats are usually quite agile, but when they have stitches, any fall can be worrisome.



First, check the stitched area closely. Look for any signs of redness, swelling, bleeding, or if the stitches have come undone. These could be indications that the area has been disturbed by the fall. If the site looks clean without any noticeable changes, that's a positive sign.



You can help your cat by keeping the area dry and clean. Discourage too much jumping or vigorous play to minimize stress on the stitches and give them a chance to heal properly. You might consider restricting her to a smaller, safer area of your home for a little while.



Keep an eye out for signs of pain, such as limping, excessive licking of the stitches, loss of appetite, or changes in behavior. If you notice any of these, or if the stitched area is actively bleeding or looks worse, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly.



For peace of mind and to ensure everything is alright, you might want to book a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can assess your cat's condition and provide guidance on any necessary next steps.
