Is there a humane society where you live? Sometimes they will have discounted services for those who qualify. Start calling around and see what is available in your area. Possible problems include bleeding disorders, stones in his bladder, and infections of his prostate. A few other possibilities as well but those are the 3 main ones. Good luck and I hope this helps you find the help he needs.

    Hi and thanks for your request. From the picture I cannot see exactly the what is happening, but your description of the signs is quite concerning and I would recommend an immediate check up at your local vets.
