It's hard to be sure from your description but it sounds very much like what happened to my hybrid Ziggy, first a few spots of blood then something protruding which turned out to be a prolapsed bowel.
If it is this they can get dehydrated very quickly so try to make sure she's drinking, if not offer her the bottle or a syringe with water, cucumber or lettuce.
She really needs to get to a vet asap, they may be able to repair it although I'm afraid the prognosis isn't too good.
Just keep her quiet & comfortable until you can get her to a vet.
I hope it turns out to be something they can help. Good luck.
