Sad I'm worried!

Last night I noticed a brownish spot on Paddington's pee-pad. I thought that he had just peed a lot in that one spot, and the urine was old, so I changed the pad and didn't think much about it.

The next time that he peed last night, the urine was brownish, and he had whole wild cherries in his stool (I guess there is a cherry tree growing in my parents' backyard that I didn't know about) I was worried, but my fiance told me it is probably nothing to worry about, probably something just passing through his system (like the cherries)

This morning his urine is still brownish, and it smells really bad.

Could it just be dehydration? Last night during his bath he was trying to drink his bath water, and when I checked his water dish it was empty (we're usually pretty good at keeping it full, but yesterday I guess we forgot to check it as often) I've been giving him fresh water every hour, but the bowl is always full, so now he isn't drinking the water. Or could it be (as my fiance suggested) the wild cherries staining his urine? I am worried that there is blood in his urine.

We are an hour away from our vet, and my keys are locked in the car I am home alone, but if I should rush him to the vet I could call someone... what should I do?????
