Hi all!
I work on small mixed livestock operation and one of our older sows (6 yrs) is passing a lot of blood when she urinates. She had a successful and gentle breed by one of our older boars five days ago and she is out of heat. While we watch and wait for the vet, do y'all have any ideas of what it might be?
Otherwise she is eating and active.

Most likely she is having a discharge associated with the breeding and the urine is helping to flush it out of her canal. Some animals also bleed with their heat.

Now is she actively bleeding or is some blood coming out only when she urinates?

Does she have a temperature/have you been able to get one?

You mentioned she is eating which is good and not lethargic so probably not an infection.

My second guess would be a very early abortion/failed settling.
