It sounds like your rat may have had some trauma to his penis or he may have a urinary tract infection. If he is housed with other rats I would recommend separating him for the time being. I would also recommend taking him to the vet to be checked out. If he does have a urinary tract infection he will need to antibiotics to help clear it up. Your vet can also prescribe some pain medication for him.
