My spayed senior dog is bleeding from her vagina. Is it normal?

My approximate 10yr old spayed red heeler is lightly bleeding from her vagina. I've only had her for 14 months, she's not done this before since I've had her. Is this normal?

No this is not normal, a spayed female should not be bleeding at all, either she has not been spayed properly or maybe she is suffering from a urinary disease, i would recommend taking her to the vet in order to get it checked.
