Jasmine bleeding

After Jasmine's been asleep for a while, she just keeps bleeding while she sleeps...

Blood somewhat clotted outside the vulva.

After cleaning her, new blood flows...

Jasmine was perfectly fine Wednesday, Thursday morning I didn't notice anything wrong, I was feeling ill so I admit I didn't pay much attention but I would have noticed if she had been unwell.

Thursday evening her body felt cold and she was very weak and off her legs and looked pale (anaemic) but ate well.

Friday morning she ate well and was looking a bit brighter and stronger and we went to the vets for testing. She had a blood test and my vet performed a cysto to look at her urine which looked fine, no blood in it, nothing wrong with it. But when I fetched Jasmine, she had started bleeding. We first thought it was from the backside but once I had her at home, and cleaned her, I saw she was bleeding from her vulva. She had baytril and prednisolone injected while at the vets.

Friday late evening, I called my vet and she met me at the practice and gave Jasmine 4 ml of blood from Wesley, vitamin K, vetergesic, and 40 ml of fluids.

Jasmine was very weak and didn't want to eat much, she only had 5 ml of liquid cat convalescent diet at night.

Jasmine continued to go to the toilet all during the night (and bleed), I thought she would be dead this morning (Saturday). But she was alive and again looking a tad brighter. She had 10 ml of liquid diet and 5 ml of cat milk with 1 mg pred. Went to the vets again and she had more vitamin K, vetergesic and synulox, all injected.

We have no idea what is going on but somehow the cysto must have caused it. But I don't know why. Why doesn't she stop bleeding, I mean the blood eventually clots around her vulva so why doesn't it clot internally?

At this moment in time, 2.45 p.m. Saturday 23rd April, it looks like she is dying from the blood loss. She has stopped swallowing so I can't even feed her now. She is kept warm and comfortable, has a warm gel bottle under her bedding.

When my vet spun the blood, she said it was very fatty and there weren't many (red) blood cells.
