My kitten licked her spay incision, now it's bleeding. Is she okay?

Question

Hi! I got my 8 month old kitten spayed 9 days ago. She licked her wound yesterday and a drop of blood came out and today there seems to be more crusted blood but no active bleeding. Will she be okay?! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

As long as the incision isn't actively bleeding and isn't infected (red, swollen, warm to the touch, pus), then Bella should be ok. Keep an Ecollar on her at all times to keep her from licking her incision. Best of luck.
