Why is my dog bleeding and straining a week after spay surgery?

Question

young dog about 1 year old spayed one week ago. Since that time she has been straining some when outside. She had a bloody mucus discharge the first day. Now the discharge appears to be blood only. when she was spayed she was pregnant. I am not sure how far along they only said very pregnant. The procedure was preformed at the local animal shelter. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 25 lbs

I recommend to call the clinic who preformed the procedure. It's possible the blood is coming from the surgery site or that she has a bladder infection (which can happen after a spay). The veterinarian may want to exam Sissy to make sure she is not bleeding internally from the surgery site. They may also want to test her urine. I hope this helps and that this gets figured out quickly. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
