Why is my cat's rear bloody and losing fur after giving birth?

Question

Hiiii so my family recently took in a stray cat and it's about to be 3 months since we've taken her in...she gave birth on the 14th to 4 kittens and so i was watching her one time and she was licking herself but when she lifted her leg, her butthole looked bloody and the part of her tail close to that area was missing a patch of fur, like it'd been burned off! i'm worried and everytime she comes back from using the bathroom it bleeds a little and i dont know what it is or what to do. Pet's info: Cat | Manx | Female | 11 lbs

Poor Violet. It is hard to say exactly what it is without looking at her. She could have a wound, be in heat (less likely with that much blood), have an infected anal gland, or even a mass in her rectum. Your vet really needs to look at her so they can determine exactly where the blood is coming from and make sure she doesn’t need stitches or other treatment. They can get her started on the proper antibiotics that will be safe for the kittens if they are still nursing. I hope this helps.
