Dog spay incision pink 8 days after surgery. Is it healing okay?

Question

Infected surgery stiches? After removing bandage (3 days) the stiched area is pinker now (8 days). Our Collie had the uterus and ovaries removed 8 days ago. Stiches planned to removed next Tuesday (12 days). Does it look ok? She appears to feel great, no fever. Pet's info: Dog | Collie smooth-coated | Female | spayed | 9 years old | 45 lbs

Thank you for providing pictures. The surgical incision looks just "okay". Not healing ideally not not infected at this stage. I would continue to monitor it very closely. If you notice any of the following I would take Tia into the veterinarian earlier then next Tuesday; Fever Discharge Foul odor Bleeding Swelling Spread of the red or inflamed areas
