Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Bloody milk is very concerning, as are lumps through her mammary glands. I would recommend having her seen by a vet right away, as mastitis might be re-occurring. Since she was spayed it could be that it is associated with the incision. If you post a picture we might be able to better identify what is going on. It sounds like she should be seen by a very soon though. Best of luck with Cinnamon, I hope she feels better soon!
