Default my eucalyptus is bleeding.

Call me sensitive but I feel awful, I had a eucalyptus i bought originally as a shrub and it grew 10ft tall, it was shading my neighbour's garden so we decided to cut it down as the leaves were too high for me to reach and use anyway. So we cut it down between us, I loved the way the truck was formed so I decided to cut it down and use the trunk as a bird table, I have just been up the garden and she is bleeding, no I mean it she is really bleeding! red sticky "blood" is oozing out and its running down the stump, now I feel terrible, she is up there bleeding to death and I don't know what to do Im thinking maybe if I stop it, she can start to sprout out of the sides and I can keep her low and manageable. can anyone help. pleeease.
