If she is breathing hard she may be collecting fluid around her lungs, this 
may mean she has a more generalized infection, or it is in her lungs, its 
possible the blood could have come from her nose,  so please stress this 
with the vet, if she has heart failure or pneumonia it could be a URI or 
upper respiratory infection she a vet exam is needed. She could need Lasix 
as well to remove extra fluid in her lungs , Ann and GL both address this on 
their site.  You should consider this an emergency and do everything you can 
to get her seen y a piggy savvy vet.

Very carefully collect all the symptoms write them down for the vet so he 
can differentiate between a lung infection or one in her bladder or stones.
