It could be that he pooped out the chili pods and it looks like blood, or the chili pods have upset his GI tract. If he's perfectly fine, I would not rush him to a vet right away, and I would try a bland diet to see if that helps settle his GI tract. I recommend that you 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 his normal diet. If there is still blood in his feces on the bland diet, or he develops other symptoms such as vomiting, anorexia, and extreme lethargy, then I would take him into the vet.
