That looks like an infected wound to me. The picture is hard to tell if it is at the spay site or not. She should definitely see a veterinarian as she likely needs antibiotics. I think it is unlikely to be contagious but that is not something I can answer for sure from a picture. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
