p.s thank you for your help.
AnswerDear Nadia,
Blood coming from any orifice like this is certainly cause for concern. If there is a lot of blood, please contact any emergency veterinarian immediately. If she has not been vaccinated against VHD (a rabbit calicivirus disease), then this is a possibility if she is also acting lethargic and ill. If she has VHD, the male is also at risk.
Please find a vet here:

and get both bunnies there ASAP. There is nothing I can do for you long distance for a problem like this; the bunny needs medical attention. Rabbits do not get periods. This could be anything from a urinary tract problem to signs that some uterine tissue was left behind from a spay, and has become neoplastic (cancerous).
I hope your bunnies will be fine, but get them to the vet immediately.
