A little bit of discharge is normal and may not be related to the surgery. You should how ever always pay attention to any changes or deviations from Ginger's 'normal'. I recommend to call your veterinarian and tell them what is happening. They may ask to examine her again to look at the discharge under a microscope to check for any infection or they may suggest something else. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It doesn't require an emergency visit but it isn't normal either that long after a spay, it's probably an infection and it will need to be treated with an antibiotic course, you should try and make an apointment with your vet in the next couple days if possible.

I would not be concerned about this change in discharge. Usually a brownish discharge indicates old blood/bleeding. If she is otherwise acting normal just continue giving her the medication as prescribed and keep your recheck appointment for Monday.

This can sometimes occur 7-10 days after surgery as the suture starts to break down where it was tied near the cervix. As long as Riley feels good, and has a normal appetite, I would not be concerned. If the discharge hasn't cleared up in a day or two, you should have her checked out by your vet.
