Hello. If she willingly tied with the male several times, then hopefully she has conceived. The blood may just be a little excess left over from her proestrus or even a little blood that had pooled in her vaginal vault. This should subside over the next few days, but if it increases or just does not seem to be resolving, you may have to have her checked by your vet. It is unusual, but sometimes the delicate tissues of the cervix can be bruised or torn a bit during intromission. Usually, even this resolves on its own over time & will not affect a pregnancy, so have this checked if the bleeding persists beyond a few more days. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
