It appears that she may be having a mild reaction to the stitches under the skin. I would not be overly concerned at this stage. I recommend you put a cone collar on her if she is licking it and I recommend you use this topical spray on the incision 3-4 times per day. https://www.allivet.com/p-2842-vetericyn-vf-plus-wound-skin-care-hydrogel-spray.aspx?SearchTerm=hydrogel+Auto
