It sounds like Luna's spay incision might be opening, which can sometimes occur if she's been particularly active or has been licking the area. It's crucial to keep the wound clean and to prevent her from licking it. Using an Elizabethan collar, commonly known as a cone, can help stop her from reaching the incision.

Please keep an eye on the wound for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms or if the wound continues to open, I recommend contacting your veterinarian for further advice. They may need to examine the wound to ensure it is healing properly and might consider re-suturing if necessary.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
