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

It is hard for me to see from your image if the incision looks infected or not. I would say that if she is still having some discharge from her incision, it would be a good idea to have her examined by a veterinarian. Most incision's should be fully healed by now. Causes of bloody discharge could be infection or she could be having trouble clotting (low platelets). Your veterinarian can run some blood work (CBC) to check her platelet count and make sure it is normal. I hope this has helped. Thank you for using pet coach.
