Day 8 after spayed surgery. Is this looking okay? Should I be concerned? She seems fine and normal.

It looks like the external stitches have come loose and the external margins of the wound are inflamed. It does not look like there is any infection though.The wound is healing but after 8 days I would expect a cleaner and less inflamed wound. If there is any discharge from the wound or not healing and being less red in the next week, I would recommend a check up. Restrict exercise and buster collar to avoid licking are essential.
