Default Worried once again!

I know you are probably all getting sick of hearing about my worries over Maddie, but here goes again. She was spayed on Tuesday...all went well. She has eaten well, drank, and going to the bathroom fine. She seemed fine the day after surgery and was hard to keep her quiet. Last evening she started whimpering and acting as if she was in pain and would start to pant, so I'd take her to her water dish but she didn't want to drink. I finally figured out she was doing the Lamaze thing for pain. She slept a lot and seemed better this morning. Late this afternoon, my daughter stopped and I was holding Maddie and she noticed stains on the onesie I had on Maddie to keep her from licking her incision. We looked at her incision and it was oozing at one end and appeared a bit red and swollen. The discharge is a light bloody color. I immediately called the vet and talked to the, I assume, one of the receptionists. I told her what was happening and she told me to use hydrogen peroxide on it and then put neosporin on it. I've been putting neopsporin on it since she got home because I was told to do that. It is still oozing and I wouldn't be so worried, except that Maddie has done nothing but lay...she isn't always sleeping...her eyes are open a lot, but she just lays there and a lot of time lays on her back. I decided that I'm not calling the vet in the morning, but just taking her there and telling them I want her checked out, but I don't think I can wait till morning...she just isn't herself at all. Has anyone here had any experience with problems after spaying?
