She absolutely needs to see the vet. It could be something simple like a wee infection, or it could be a sign of something more sinister. Do you have an emergency vet?

Even unspayed females wouldn't have somthing like this. They don't have seasons or anything!
As above, Vet ASAP! It's deffintly not normal.

Not normal at all. Could the blood be in urine? If it is it could be caused by a urine infection and would require to be treated with antibiotics. Whatever it is though, it's not right and defnintely needs to see a vet.

This is not normal at all, even in an unspayed female bun. Please get bunny to the vet ASAP.
It's possible that it could be caused by diet, too much lettuce for example, can cause red urine, or too many carrots etc.
I wouldn't risk it though, especially as you say there's been a lot of blood, bun should really see a vet urgently.

i agree that a vet would be needed asap if you are certain it is blood. could be bladder/uti related, or something more. good luck and let us know how you get on at the vets xx
