The diarrhea with blood could be related to the bone that you gave her but she could still have a parasite, even though she is acting fine. Parvo is still a possibility but less likely since she doesn't seem sick and has all her vaccines. The best thing would be to have your vet take a look at her, especially since her diarrhea has so much blood in it. Your vet can run a fecal test to look for parasites and then treat accordingly. She may need some fluids and medications to help with the diarrhea. Please call your vet and set up an appointment to have her seen as soon as possible.
