Post-neutering appearance in cats

Kitty is about 4.5 months, and was neutered last week. I guess I expected "them" just to be "gone," but there is still something obviously left over. It's not swelling because it hasn't changed over the days, nor does it appear to be seeping or anything, and he clearly feels quite fine. I guess it's just empty skin now? And will maybe look less noticeable after the shaved hair grows back?

Is this normal? What's it supposed to look like now? They do so many of these, I can't imagine it's incomplete, but they didn't tell me what to expect appearance-wise.

BD, From what I understand "they" are removed by slitting the sac and "they" are simply popped out! Thus leaving the sac behind. It will shrink over time. If it looks like there is any swelling etc. take him back to the vet for a check up. HTH Good on you for doing the deed.... <em>edited by Nomad on 07/05/2011</em>
