Poor Abby! Bloody urine is a very common sign of bladder stones, so I would definitely be concerned that this may be the problem again. I would recommend taking her to the vet tomorrow morning for an exam and x-rays - this should help to determine whether or not she has stones again, so that she can get started on appropriate treatment.
