Yes these signs must be immediately checked by your veterinarian as they could be compatible with a post-surgery complication (infection or possibly hemorrhage). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
