The specific gravity is quite low actually - that tells me his urine is way too dilute. I would recommend full general bloodwork (if that wasn't done yet) to check his liver and kidney function and a urine culture and sensitivity to check for a resistant UTI. It's definitely abnormal to have blood in the urine, to have such a low pH, and to have SUCH a low specific gravity. So I'm worked about something metabolic or an infection, rather than something mechanical.
