My dog's spay incision is bleeding again. How can I help it heal?

Question

My 45lb husky mix was spayed January 4th. She was given clavamox about 3 weeks ago because her incision was slightly bleeding. It has started bleeding a little bit again. How can I get this to heal properly? She's not scratching or licking the incision. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 8 months and 3 days old | 40 lbs

This is probably happening due to an allergic reaction to the suture material, it is quite common. these sutures usually dissolve completely within 4-6 weeks, which might be the time it will take to resolve.
