I would recommend taking Kamilo to a veterinarian in the morning. I am concerned about an anal gland abscess. If this is what is wrong with him it may burst open and drain. Your veterinarian will check to see if this is what it is and if that is the case express his anal glands and provide medication to help it heal. He may need an elizabethan collar after depending on if it had ruptured or not. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
