This is not uncommon in an adult dog after castration. If it doesn't resolve in a day or so, have him rechecked by your vet. Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent further loss of sutures.

Blood in the urine isn't normal after neutering. The surgery itself should not have impacted any of the structures involved in urination, as only the spermatic cords are ligated. In addition, losing stitches this early after the surgery may impact the healing of the site, and leave him prone to infection. I recommend you see your vet as soon as possible to investigate the blood in the urine as well as determine whether the surgical site needs to be re-closed, and antibiotics started.
