My cat just got spayed. Is bleeding from the incision normal?

My cat just got spayed today at ASPCA and I brought her home which was an hour drive but I notice that she is bleeding from the cut on her stomach.

While it is normal to have some discharge and light bleeding from an incision, it's not normal to have excessive amounts of bleeding. I would find a vet on call in your area to speak to about Savannah if the bleeding is excessive, as she may need to be seen right away.
