Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tilly. Pus from a surgical incision site is worrisome as like you said, it typically indicates an infection. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian as soon as possible. She may need to be started on antibiotics or take a different one if she is already taking them. In the meantime, be sure that she is not l licking the incision site as this will only make it worse. I hope this information helps!
