Exclamation Pyometra surgery scar/wound possibly bleeding?

Pips scar/wound is quite red, like fresh, looks as though it has been bleeding.

she had her wound glued and the vet said it would just fall off on its own.

i'm unsure if this is the wound opening up or its the scar that was underneath the 'glue', it looks as if its a red line between the skin but kinda deep, its really hard to explain but i am unable to get a picture at the moment

she eating, drinking & seems alert, but she stinks more than usual, like a poo smell.

I pressed a cotton pad lightly on the wound and no blood came off onto the pad, do you think she should go to out of hours vet?

she's been through so much already

The smell is concerning as it could indicate an infection. I'm not sure how a glued wound should look to be honest. I'd call them for advice and ask if you should send over a pic of the wound or bring her in.

I am so sorry that Pip's scare looks and smells concerning. I do hope that the vet will be able to help her and she will be alright. Huge hugs to you and cuddles to Pip. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both. xxx
