It is red? Is it getting any larger? That is a common place for an umbilical hernia. (They are born with those). Usually they don’t cause any problems, but occasionally intestines can herniate through the hole and make them very sick quickly. This can be life threatening. I would encourage you to have him seen by an emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.
