Check her gums to make sure they are a healthy pink and keep a close eye on her and check her temperature at least 2 times a day. Temperature below 100 is dangerous too (sign of shock and internal bleeding). Here are the signs and symptoms of internal bleeding:

Internal Bleeding

Signs/symptoms

One or more of the following signs/symptoms, you should suspect internal bleeding:

1. Pale or white gums
2. Respiration may be rapid, panting.
3. Animal is lethargic, weak, reluctant to walk.
4. Animal's rectal temperature may be less than 100 degrees F. (Take animal's temperature with a rectal thermometer. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the tip of the thermometer before inserting into the rectum. Leave in at least 2 minutes before checking. The normal temperature for both dogs and cats is approximately 100.5 degrees F-102.5)
