Oh that was naughty of Ruby to eat rabbit poop! Dogs truly eat the grossest things, don't they?! It is concerning that there might be some blood in her poop, and I would monitor it for now. Should the blood in her poop continue, I would have her seen by a vet as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can try a home remedy to see if that helps with the diarrhea. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
