I'm guessing the blood is from her mouth then. Can you scruff her to check out her teeth? She could have bitten herself, or her teeth could be too long. She also could have an infection in her cheek pouch. I'd take her to the vet to have these possibilities checked out and some antibiotics prescribed.
