Bloody, jelly-like poop along with loss of appetite and sometimes vomiting is often seen with a problem called HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis) - this is a very serious GI problem that requires hospitalization for IV fluids and supportive care. Other possible causes could include intestinal parasites like whipworms or hookworms, a severe systemic illness like liver or kidney failure, or a bleeding disorder of some kind. I would recommend having Cheeky examined by a vet right away - he/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help determine the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
