nipple leaking blood

[Jim Hall]

Amanda, who is a 1 1/2 - 2/12 yr old
female stray i tool in has been licking one of her nipples and Maria noticed it was bleeding

Amanda got spayed in may08 while 2 wks pregnant and after a week's convalesance was fine, ravenous but other wise excellent

manda is now about 30% overweight but otherwise has plenty of energy and seems fine

when I manipulated the area involved she didnt seem to mind so i assume it wasnt sore the nipple looks a bit red compared to the other one which looks perfecalty pink small and otherwise normal

I am going to talk to my vet lster in the week and probably take her in but i was wondering if anyone came up against this

BTW when i questioned the pouches I waa told by the vet who spayed her and my vet ( two different places i was tryong to save money again) ) that it was normal especilayy in light of the large wound required for the remove of the uterus .

jim is the air in your place dry by anychance the skin on her nipples could be dry and itchy, if you have some cortesone cream put alittle on and see if it helps.

Is it possible that DU scratched it accidentally?
