Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! If Thor has not had any abdominal x-rays or an abdominal ultrasound performed I would definitely recommend having these tests performed to figure out why there is blood dripping from his penis. I would also recommend a trial of an antibiotic and an antiinflammatory to see if this resolves with symptomatic treatment. If not, then neutering may be the treatment if this is a prostate related issue such as prostatitis. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
