Does this wound look reopened to you? (Warning: image of spay wound)

Please help!

My dog was spayed on Monday. She’s had her post op check and is due another one on Monday but I can’t work out if the wound has reopened? She has jumped on and off the sofa a couple of times when I haven’t been fast enough to stop her. It is weeping a little bit.

thanks ❤️

I don't think it's reopened but it looks slightly inflamed - she may need antibiotics.

Looks good to me,keep an eye for any pus or blood or if the wound gets red

It looks fine. The slightly swollen pink bit is just because it's healing from the cut and how it's been stitched & glued shut. Our dog's looked very similar in the early days but healed really well. Obviously, check with you are worried at all though.

Are you using a cone or suit btw? We found the suit we bought from the vet to be brilliant.

We chose a Lap Spay as it's much quicker recovery and kept her in a baby gro to stop any licking of the wound . It doesn't look reopened but it does look a little inflamed maybe have a chat with the vet .
