PAS_1 A uterine prolapse is considered a medical emergency. This condition is life-threatening. If the affected cow is not treated quickly, she could go into shock or die from blood loss. (Livestock Health Series Reproductive Prolapses of Cattle, https://www.uaex.edu/publications/pdf/FSA-3102.pdf )
PAS_2 Not all bleeding is from an obvious, external injury. Factor XI deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder (Kumar et al. 2011c), recognized in Holsteins. The inherited, defective gene creates a type of hemophilia. Affected calves may fail to stop bleeding from the umbilicus after birth, or may have prolonged bleeding from dehorning or castration sites. Affected cows often exhibit a pink colored colostrum. Bleeding episodes can be catastrophic; for example, the steer with the torn ear may have had the genetic deficiency. An affected cow reportedly died after calving due to fatally hemorrhaging into the lungs.

Disease Prevention
Precautions A huge red mass, dotted with large lumps "the cotyledons", is seen protruding out of the vulva after calving. This really is an alarming sight but can be corrected effectively in most cases. However, if extensive bruising and or tearing of the vagina has been caused, e.g. when attempting to pull the calf out, complications can result.
