It looks quite crusty but the stitches seem holding the margins still in place (one facing the opposite). I would suggest to rest her as much as possible and to put a buster collar on to avoid any licking. If you notice discharge coming from the wound, any sign of pain/discomfort or lethargy or inappetence or you can actually see underlying tissue layers, it would be absolutely best to have her checked by your local veterinarian.
