Answer
Lori -

It seems as though your dog is having a bout of colitis.  Have her examined by the veterinarian to help control dehydration and excessive blood loss.  Schnauzers are prone to bouts of colitis and it is wise to feed her a high quality diet.  Talk with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet.
