Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At least based on these pictures, it does not look infected. If you are concerned at any point about an infection due to signs such as bleeding, discharge or foul odor, have her evaluated by a veterinarian then. Otherwise, she will be fine. Have a good night!
