It isn't red and irritated and it looks GREAT so far and she isn't even that interested in licking it a whole lot so hopefully she heals soon!

Unlike Charlie, he licked and scratched his to the point it got infected and was raw for... probably a good two months we had to deal with his. Even with an e-collar, he would break or rip off every one I could get on him and it was bad ><
Can't you keep her on leash?? She really shouldn't be running around, whether she feels like it or not. A spay is a pretty major surgery. The external incision's healing is important, but it's all the internal sutures you need to worry about. The outside usually heals quickly.
I dunno, if it were me and my dog she would only be going outside on leash.
