My kitten is bleeding from her vagina. Is this normal or an emergency?

Question

Why is my newborn kitten bleeding from her vagina? Shes about two weeks old though were unsure as she was a stray. She receives the milk replacer formula, sleeps well through the night, poops and pees fine. Very active and feisty. However today i noticed blood coming from her vagina. Is that normal for such a young cat or should i take her to the vet? I also have two year old male cat but never goes near her and wasnt home at the time she began bleeding. Bleeding is minor but still concerned.

This is not normal and could be a sign of urinary issues or trauma. If she has very recently been with the mother then neonatal isoerythrolysis would be another possibility but if you have had her more than a few days this would not be a possibility. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her to determine what might be going on.
