Figo needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. He could have a blood clot to his testicles or even they could be rotated cutting off the blood supply. He could also have an infection. All these causes can call significant pain as well as need immediate surgical intervention. Do not give him any pain medication at home as it can be very toxic to dogs.
