If he is urinating blood and can barely walk this is a medical emergency and he cannot wait until tomorrow to see the vet. You need to take him somewhere today, an emergency vet clinic if necessary. Giving him cranberry juice isn't going to help any trauma to the bladder and it is possible he could have a torn or ruptured bladder. He should be seen right away.

    Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs might be compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
