I highly recommend taking Rex to a veterinarian. My concern is he is so young with blood in his urine. If you can collect a urine sample before you go that would be helpful for the veterinarian to test his urine. It can be something simple like a urinary tract infection but it can be something more serious. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
