The incision looks ok at this point but water can potentially introduce infection into the incision. Miley should be confined and leash walked only for at least 10 days after surgery. No jumping, no swimming, no running off leash. Monitor the incision for redness, swelling or discharge and let her vet know if you notice any of this.
