It looks like it could be infected or Belle could be having a suture reaction. If she seems painful or has a poor appetite or a rectal temperature over 103, I would have her examined by an emergency vet. If not, it could wait to see your primary vet in the morning. If they aren’t available until Monday, I would see the emergency vet. Make sure she isn’t licking it until she is checked out.
