You need to try and find out where the bleeding comes from, it could be from his urinary tract, his gastrointestinal tract or from an injury. i would recommend taking Gabe to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated, it does not matter where the bleeding is coming from - this is something that requires an urgent vet visit.
