This is certainly not normal. The incision should be hardly visible after a year. Make sure Bama does not lick the incision site, (put an e-collar on him, if you have one at home, or put a t-shirt on him covering the site) and take him in to your vet in the morning. It is possible that something is irritating the incision, Bama licked it busily and caused it to bleed. However, this needs to be examined.
