I'm guessing this is all probably very normal, but wanted to toss it out there just to be sure.

Pepper started bleeding today (she had the babies early Sunday morning). It's bright red blood. It's about the size of half a dime to a dime on a couple spots on the floor (looks like she sat down a couple times near her food bowl).

Everything sound normal? Thanks!

So far, everything sounds right - the spotting is normal for a few days (up to 10) after birth, so it sounds normal. If the bleeding increases, or you start to see dark rd (arterial) blood or other color discharge, take her in to be seen by the vet.

I'll bet you are having SO much fun with these babes!

Grace did the same thing for a few days after. It scared me to death, but the TCS crew assured me it was normal!
