Dog has a rash on tummy near spay scar, but acts normal. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, I just noticed some rash on my dogs tummy right along her scar from when she was spayed. I don’t know what could have caused it but her behaviour has not changed. She still is playing and eating very well. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 17 lbs

Hello, It would be helpful to know how long ago Molly was spayed. It's possible there is an infection along the incision, or perhaps delayed reaction to the suture material. I'd recommend having Molly seen by her veterinarian. They can best guide you after a physical exam. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
