Did she have stitches before? External or internal or both? Do you think it opened on its own during the healing process, or do you think mom licked it open or tore at it?
Either way, it does sound like there is a healing layer underneath. Keep her as low-key as possible and plan to take her for a vet check first thing Monday. She may need re-stitching, or she may need more antibiotics, or she may just need left alone to heal. This will be the vet’s call, as I’ve not experienced a surgery re-open like this. Since there is no blood or pus, it sounds not too bad for now.
Do get a message to the vet first-thing Monday and keep us posted. Let’s hope nothing further occurs with the incision site in the meantime.
