Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Olive. This could be some tattoo ink that some spay neuter clinics use. Usually, a score line is made in the skin and some green ink is applied to identify the pet as being altered. This looks a little odd though. I would advise taking her back to where she was spayed. Let them take a look at her and advise you on what to do. Most likely the area will have to be shaved to identify what is going on here. Good luck with Olive.
