Ideally, the kitten should be physically examined by a veterinarian to diagnose any other injuries. If it is a minor bleed, it should stop with some gentle pressure. If there is internal injury, that can be addressed by the veterinarian after the exam. Monitor for lethargy, ataxia (wobbly gait), difficulty breathing, pale gums, uneven pupils or bleeding from the ears or anywhere else.

As long as it is not actively bleeding and not bothering him, you can monitor it at home. An e-collar (cone) can be used to prevent rubbing or pawing until it is healed. Light pressure using clean guaze can be used to control minor bleeding. If it doesn't begin to improve in a few days, have him physically examined by your veterinarian.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If the bleeding has stopped and there is no evidence of major visible trauma, I would monitor for now. If the bleeding does not stop or continues to occur, then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at this so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
