Answer
There is not much you can do other than take him to a vet. First you have to find out where the blood is coming from, look all over his body, even under the hair, and in his mouth. If nothing looks like the cause there then it must be internal bleeding. Slimy thick blood is usually from the intestinal tract, watery blood mixed with a water-like substance is usually from the urinary tract. Does he have softer poop or diarrhea? If so it is most likely intestinal, which I can give you some things to try. Urinary tract requires antibiotics from a vet, so there is not much you can do for that.
