Precious got a bump removed Wednesday & the scar looks a bit different today. The first picture is from yesterday & the last 2 are from today. I think I’ve stopped her from licking it twice. Is it infected? Is this troublesome? Should I put something on it?

Is Precious licking at this? Does she have an elizabethan collar on? If she does not have a collar on then I would recommend putting one on her. This is starting to look infected. I would call your veterinarian and make an appointment to have them see her, but in the mean time I would recommend getting an elizabethan collar for her so she doesn't lick at this and make it worse.
