Default Spay - Post op questions... maybe normal?

Hi all - first post here; but it's Easter Sunday so my vet is closed and I'm a little nervous about what might be perfectly routine. Any feedback would be appreciated.

My 5 1/2 month yorkie Kelley was spayed on Friday morning and we picked her up Friday afternoon. They didn't give us any indication that there was anything in particular to watch out for, just keep her quiet for a week or so.

Late last night, I noticed that when I wiped up her pee-pee (she has accidents) it was a little off color - like a light brown on the paper towel. When I wiped it up this morning I paid much closer attention and noticed that the pee itself is perfectly normal color, but there are a few drops of blood around it. Further, I looked around and see trails of little blood droplets.

I've checked her incision and it looks fine. It is barely red at all, isn't leaking, so that is not the source of the blood. And it also looks like her nipples are swollen. They are definitely bigger than they were pre-surgery. Could she *possibly* be in heat after this surgery?

With my other Yorkie this surgery was very straight forward, and these are the only dogs I've ever had. Has anyone else had this happen post-op??

Many thanks in advance for your help.
