My cat is bleeding in her litter box. Is she pregnant or miscarrying?

Question

Cinnamon who is 2 yrs old had a litter of babies 7 weeks ago. I think she may have ACCIDENTALLY got pregnant again exactly 31 days ago today. (My husband unknowingly let my now neutered male in the same room as her) This morning i noticed blood in her litter box. Not red or orange urine. Actual blood. She's acting, eating and drinking normal. If she was pregnant could this be a miscarriage? What could this be? There wasn't a ton of blood but definitely enough to concern me. Thanks for your help! Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 5 lbs

Poor Cinnamon. Unfortunately without seeing her in person, it is impossible to say for sure what could be the cause for the blood. It could be a urinary tract infection, a uterine infection, colitis (blood from anus), or even a miscarriage. I have see straight blood come from all of these conditions. I would strongly recommend have your vet take a look at her to try and figure out what could be causing the blood. Your vet may be able to determine whether or not she is pregnant and also determine the cause of the blood and get her started on the proper (and safe) meds to help her feel better. If she is having a miscarriage and the fetuses die but she doesn't expel of them, this could cause her to become really sick if left untreated. I hope this helps and you are able to figure out where the blood is coming from.
