It's very serious that Toby is leaking blood from his rectum, and he could have a foreign body, suffering trauma to the GI tract, may have eaten something toxic, or has abscessed or ruptured anal sacs among other causes. This would also cause blood in his stool. He needs to see a vet now to diagnose the cause of his symptoms so he can be treated. Please take him into a vet right away.
