I recommend taking Lily to a veterinarian. This may be nothing but an upset stomach but when puppies get sick they can decline quickly so making sure she doesn't have something to be concerned about and making sure she is hydrated is a must. I would bring a stool sample to check for intestinal parasites and then your veterinarian can provide medication and food to help with the blood in the stool and help with the upset stomach. I hope Lily feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
