After 5 days the most critical time has passed. Some doctors even prefer to remove stitches at 5 days. And it looks good in the pic. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts looking worse or opens up more. But it shouldn't.

her incision looks good to me. Watch for signs of infection.

My girl removed all of her stitches and her incision opened up. That was not fantastic but with a vet's directions she healed up just fine. Your girl's incision looks way better than my lil bits did.
