Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | spayed | 39 lbs
Pet had operation last Monday. Back to our bet yesterday and she has infection and given antibiotics. Wound opened pic 1 up and she has apt 2 morrow. Pic 2 is wound today and am wondering if we can wait for apt or should she go to emergency. Thanks

If you can a) keep her from licking the wound, ie put an e-collar on her and b) keep her quiet in a crate, for example, then you can wait until your appointment tomorrow. If she cannot be kept quiet until then, you should take her to emergency for stapling, gluing or resuturing
