Definitely need to go to the vet.
Here’s information from a great source I found:
—————————————————————————
Hematochezia is the presence of bright red, fresh blood in the feces. Hematochezia usually occurs with bleeding in the lower intestines (colon, rectum). Hematochezia should not be confused with melena , which is the passage of dark, tarry, black feces. Melena represents the passage of old, digested blood that has occurred with bleeding higher up in the intestinal tract.
The presence of hematochezia may be a symptom of either a minor problem, or a potentially more serious problem in the animal. One occurrence of hematochezia may be a minor and transient event. Repeated or persistent hematochezia is more serious and should not be ignored. There are several possible causes. The most common cause in older pets is cancer and in younger pets are parasites.
General Causes
-Infectious agents, such as bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and intestinal parasites
-Dietary intolerance/allergy/indiscretion
-Cancer (neoplasia) of the lower bowel
-Polyps (benign masses) in the colon or rectum
-Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as colitis
-Trauma to the lower bowel or anal area
-Clotting disorders (coagulopathy)
-Intussusception (the telescoping of one part of the bowel into another)
-Miscellaneous diseases of the anus, rectum and colon
What to Watch For
-Bright red blood in the feces
-Straining to defecate
-Increased number of bowel movements produced
-Possibly no other clinical signs
-Possibly other systemic signs of illness, such as excessive drinking, urinating, vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, weight loss

So… the basic bit of advice here:
