Call your vet- spotting is normal, flowing blood after a birth generally indicates a problem. To stay on the safe side call your vet.

I would call an emergency vet now. She needs a vet ASAP

Looks like it is almost 3pm there (Perth)...please call the vet now and see if they want you to bring her in (with the kitten?) This could be serious.

I found this link for a Vet Hospital in Perth, they have 5 or 6 locations and are open 7 days a week. Just scroll down the left side of the page and they have the different locations, phone numbers, etc. Just trying to help, iif you have trouble getting your cat seen:

Holly still has a tiny amount of blood but alot less than yesterday, Holly is eating HEAPS now and yes she was constipated but all better now! Little bubby Pj is doing great, Holly still hasnt left him for more than 1min to gulp food and if someone goes near she is back there so fast....its a beautiful thing to watch them so protective. My heart goes out to those who have lost a kitten or Two
nature can be cruel but I have always beleived everything happens for a reason..

I seem to remember that 5 - 10 dime sized drops of blood a day is what my cat had. I don't know if it was all at once or spread out - so keep your eye out and let us know how she does!
