It is hard to know for sure based on a picture but it doesn’t look like blood to me and is probably something that she ate. You could feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice for the next few days and monitor her closely. Have her examined by your vet if it continues or you notice any lethargy or decreased appetite.
