My puppy was spayed today. Is dried blood on the incision normal?

Got my pup spayed today and I looked at her incision and and there blood around it , I don’t think it’s wet blood because it’s not getting on anything but I don’t know if I should be worried. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 29 lbs

The image shows no drips or tracks of blood. This may be some normal post op discharge. If she will allow, you can use a plain, unscented baby wipe to gently clean around the incision. Keep an e-collar (cone) on her and restrict her activity to just leash walks for elimination. Avoid or prevent running, jumping, stairs or rough play as much as possible. If she has a crate, consider crating her for the night. Monitor for active bleeding, discharge, lethargy or pale gums. If any of these develop, she should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER.
