IF the blood in the urine started after he was put on steroids then a UTI is the most likely cause (steroids reduces the immune system increasing the risk of infections in general.), your vet should start him on a course of antibiotics ASAP. your vet should also check Ceaser's prostate, as a prostate disease can also be the cause of bleeding from the penis.
