It sounds like Baymax is very sick. Blood in the stool is very concerning for severe inflammation and this can be due to many things ranging from parasites to parvovirus to toxin exposure. Anytime a pet is sick beyond 24 hours they need to see the veterinarian and I recommend to get her examined today and the stool tested. For most conditions, the prognosis is better with earlier treatment. I hope she starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
