My dog's spay incision has dry yellow discharge. Is this normal?

Question

Our 6 month old labradoodle had her spay on Friday she seems ok but I checked the site today and there appears to be dry yellowish stuff around the part of the site I can't see any bleeding or fluid or pus. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | spayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is probably ok for now though it does indicate that there was some discharge and potentially an infection. I would recommend that you keep a very close eye on the incision site. If you notice any active discharge (moist instead of dry), bleeding or pain, have her evaluated as soon as possible to make sure it is not an active infection. Keep the area clean for now. If no more discharge is noted, it is possible that it will heal completely on its own. Good luck and have a nice day!
