Question
As from my other question you know my rabbit had babies this morning. my other question is....

From 3pm this afternoon i checked on my rabbit and noticed when she had a pee there was blood in it, its now 7pm and its still the same! what could it be caused by and is it really serious or just from giving birth? I am really really worried and what to put my mind at rest!

thank you

Answer
Dear Cheryl,

If there is a LOT of blood, then she should be seen by a good rabbit vet ASAP:

If it's just spotting or small bits, then this is to be expected after birth, especially if it's her first litter.  It would not be a bad idea to contact a good rabbit vet for advice, and have one ready in case you think it's necessary to bring her in.

Hope she'll be fine soon!
