New Born Pup
Hiya - my 3 year old boar had red in his urine last night. He weed about 5 times and it was stained bright red (not brown red), with clots of sticky blood (?) in the middle of the red wee stains. I picked him up and checked him all over and noticed flecks of blood in his penis, and even a little bead of blood in the corner of his eye. I assume it was blood because he hadn't eaten anything red, orange or beetroot, but I was confused by how bright the colour was. I've attached photos. I imagine the blood in his eye was maybe unrelated but unsure.
He seems a little lethargic but is otherwise eating and drinking as normal. I haven't noticed any discoloured urine this morning. I have a vet appt booked in for Thursday, but just wanted to check that it isn't an emergency? When I rang the vet he had only weed once but it became more over the next hour. Thanks so much!
P.S. The eye picture was taken after I'd wiped the bead of blood away but you can still see it a little. I put a puppy pad on top of their usual bedding so I could see any discoloured urine more clearly.

My late Ellen used to have IC and would leave clots of blood when she was having a particularly bad flare. It's good you have him booked in at the vets but give the vets a ring, explain that the bleeding has got worse and that he's lethargic. They may see him sooner. Hopefully it's just a UTI which will clear with a course of antibiotics but it's impossible for us to say what's causing the bleeding
