Hi there! My chin-mom recently gave birth to 2 little cutie kits and it's been around 24 hours after she have given birth, but i still see blood stains(really really small amount) on the bedding when she sits there. She seems to be doing fine to me apart from her bleeding (behavior wise). I have also gently pressed on her stomach and it feels like there is nothing inside of her anymore. Then I picked her up and looked at her bottom, and it looks watery and pink, not rose red (don't know if she have tried to clean it or not). Really worried and don't know if it is normal or not. :cry3::cry3::cry3:

Any helpful comment/suggestion would be nice and Thanks ahead of time!
 
Best to go to the vets! I would probably ask for an ultrasound just incase there's a kit that is higher up that can be missed on a physical examination.
Is she allowing the kits to nurse?
Is everything else (presides bleeding) normal?

But honestly noone can help you with a bleeding chin. It could be internal damage? Idk. it could be anything, but there's no way of knowing unless you get her to a vet.

Keep everyone updated!
 
She stopped bleeding after like 1 day. I asked some breeding experts, they said its common to have a little bleeding post birth (but not for an extended period of time). I'm currently monitoring her closely just incase if anythings happens, i can rush her to the vets asap.
