Thanks for reaching out about Luna and including photos. Suspected blood in the feces needs to be assessed by a veterinarian, as soon as possible. Blood in the feces could be an ingested foreign body, infection, cloacal polyps, just to list a few. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some comfort. Good luck.
