My dog's spay incision is red and oozing. Is it infected? Vet help?

Question

Our Bull Terrier was spayed and her scar looked like it was healing but tonight it's looking red and a bit of liquid oozing out. She's a rescue and the spay was done prior to us getting her. We will take the vets first thing Monday but would really like to know if it's infected. Should we get emergency vet tomorrow thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Bull Terrier | Female | spayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The incision does look irritated but not infected. You can apply a warm compress to the incision 2-3 times per day until you can get her to the vet. If the discharge looks thicker or white/yellow/green, then its infected. Good luck and kisses to Millie!
