Hello, thank you for your question about Cinnamon. If Cinnamon is having reddish clear vaginal discharge I would not be concerned. If the discharge is coming from her incision site, this is likely also benign, but I would recommend warm compressing the incision for 5 minutes 2-3 times a day. If at any point the discharge becomes colored or odorous I would recommend having her rechecked by your veterinarian. Hope this helps, good luck!
