I am not sure sure that is a rash necessarily. That sort of looks like blood beneath the skin, otherwise known as ecchymoses. Here's a link to what I am talking about: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=ecchymosis+cat&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8m__U5qDUAhVHZCYKHbKzBxcQBQgjKAA&biw=2560&bih=1298&dpr=0.75#imgrc=vR5PAX53CFWFPM: Obviously it might look different in person, but I would definitely have that checked out by a veterinarian sometime very soon. If your cat is currently pretty stable, I don't think it absolutely needs to be this evening. However, if Scarlett could be actively bleeding elsewhere in the body there is the potential for an emergency visit being necessary. I would take a look at her gums and make sure they look pink and feel moist. Also make sure no blood seems to be appearing anywhere inside of the mouth. Hope this helps!
