Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

I recommend to have Tank examined. The yelping indicates pain which is unusual. The two most common causes of problems in that area are fleas or anal gland problems. Your vet will likely be able to shed some light quickly on the cause. Have him examined within the next 24 hours. Protect the area from any licking by having him wear an elizabethan collar at all times. I hope this helps.
