I would call the vet and see if you can just stop in and ask them just to peek to see if it can be left go until tuesday, A little swelling in normal at first and red, but should not continue it should get better,
We use the sutures that disolve.
My best advice would be to call and ask the doctor who did the surgery

Call the Vet, you don't want an infection starting...if you don't see her going after it because you aren't home, doesn't mean she isn't...
