Question
Hi there. My cat is only 11 months old, and she just had her first litter-only 2 kittens, 3 days ago. She is still bleeding from her genitals, and the blood is bright red in color. What do you think is going on?
PLEASE HELP!

Answer
I would recommend having her seen by your veterinarian as soon as possible as it is several days beyond the birthing.  There is the possibility of a bleeding disorder, retained placenta or other abnormality.  A very small amount could happen for a short while after birthing but the freshness of blood and prolonged timing would make it very prudent to have her seen.
