Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 83 lbs
My dog had surgery over a month ago and she had a skin tag removed while she was having surgery. The area looks discolored and she licks it a lot. We started putting some triple antibiotic creme on. Which helps but not sure if it’s something serious

The area definitely looks inflamed, it might not be anything serious but as it appeared on the same area where the surgery was done i would recommend taking her for a checkup at the same vet that did the surgery if possible.
