Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor baby!
Be gentle when stimulating him to urinate. Use a soft towel and warm water. The blood could be from trauma or a urinary tract infection. The pustule could be from a skin infection or urine scalding. Make sure he isn’t laying in urine. If you find him wet bathe him and dry him well.
I would have him seen by a Vet sooner than later because newborns are very fragile. He may need antibiotics.
I hope this helps and I wish Puppy the best!
