Good on you for taking Trouble into the vet when you noticed she was having problems! It is normal to have some bleeding after giving birth, but it does sound like her bum is irritating her if she is scooting and licking at it. I'm also concerned that she is very thirsty and lethargic, as these can be signs of an infection. I would monitor Trouble for now, and if she is still acting like this in the morning, I would have her seen by the vet for a health check.
