Birdie-
  I think that it definitely sounds like a teeth problem with Spunky. 
The fact that his food is always wet sounds like he is drooling into 
it, which would indicate a tooth problem. Plus the blood on the carrot 
& the fact that he doesn't want you looking in his mouth would also be 
clues to a possible tooth problem. You did the right thing by getting 
him Critical Care & I would be sure to be specific to the vet as to 
why you think it's a tooth problem & not a UTI. It can't hurt to have 
them check his blood for urine, but it sounds more like a tooth thing. 
We will keep Spunky (& you!) in our prayers. Keep us updated.
