Blood from the vulva in a guinea pig is abnormal, and it is concerning. The most common cause is bladder based (due to infection, urinary crystals, bladder stones). Less common causes include uterine infections (pyometras) and vaginal/uterine based tumors. I would have Sussy seen by a vet now. Best of luck.
