Cats do not bleed like dogs do when they are in heat, so this bleeding that you have seen is not an indication she was in heat. It's an indication that something is wrong, and she could have a retained placenta or may now have an infection of the uterus called a pyomera. Given that she is not eating, very weak, and has little strength, I would consider this a medical emergency and she has to see a vet now. Without seeing her in person, I can't say the exact treatment she needs but you will have to trust the vet to give the correct one. Leaving this untreated could be fatal. Please take her into a vet now.
