Default Spay Incision Questions

I have another question or two. Thanks for being so patient ladies (and gents).

Please look at Baby's incision picture in this link (at bottom of this message) (I hope you don't mind me using your pic Baby Fidgette). I don't have a digital camera so this will have to do. Ellie's incision is four inches long (so it looks slightly longer than Baby's). Ellie has about 20 staples. The vet had to do a huge incision because she needed to get to Ellie's liver. I don't know why she closed with staples but it might have had something to do with getting out of anesthesia faster. One of the staples was coming out so I called the vet. She said it is fine if one or two come out since there are so many of them. Now by the top of the incision it is a bit red. I guess we will watch to make sure it doesn't get redder. I am seeing about 15 very tiny dots of blood on Ellie's onesie. Is this normal? They are close to the top where she is pink/red. The vet did say (when I called her about the staple coming out) that if I had any concerns call. Does the slight redness and blood dots sound normal?
