My spayed puppy has a lump and red dot on her belly. Is it serious?

Question

My puppy was spayed on January 9th. Her stitches were removed on January 19th. The vet said she was perfectly fine and ready to go back to normal. We were very protective and carefull during the recovering. I even took her to another vet for a second opinion! Last night we took her on a plane and when I got her out of the carrier she had this ball on her belly. Worried, I called the vet to ask if the calming med could've had something to do with it and he said no. Also a red, superficial dot.

The most likely cause is a suture reaction, similar to how the body tries to get rid of a sticker in your finger. However, an infection or a hernia are also possible. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian soon. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
