Hi, The straining and painful urination as well as the blood in the urine may indicate a urinary tract disorder such as infection (very common), crystals/stones, neoplasia as well as prostate problems in intact non castrated males. I would recommend to take your dog to be checked by a vet and bring with you a fresh sample of urine. Unfortunately due to the lack of specific information about the wounds such as appearance, location and a picture I cannot answer this part of the question properly. You can try and post this part again with picture and more details. The irritation and painful urination can cause a dog to lick excessively the urogenital area which can lead to self trauma in the area so if the wounds located there and the dog is licking the area that may explain it.
