Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Lillith. Blood in the stool is concerning, but if it's an emergency depends on any other symptoms. Certainly it needs to be checked out by a vet, but you don't have to rush her into a vet if she is eating, drinking, and otherwise acting normally. If she isn't eating, vomiting, has a loss of appetite, and/or is lethargic, take her into a vet immediately. Otherwise, have her seen by a vet in a day or two. Best of luck.
