Bonnie could have an infection of her uterus causing increased bleeding as well as a clotting disorder. She needs to be seen by a veterinarian as if she has an infection it can become life threatening.

Poor girl. I would have her seen by your vet to ensure she doesn't have any complications associated with her heat cycle, such as an underlying bleeding disorder, ovarian mass/tumor, etc. Its best to get her checked and get her started on anti-infalmmatory to help with her soreness and bleeding. Best wishes and take care.
