Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | neutered | 7 years and 4 months old
My dog has been walking around and sitting fast, seems to be in pain. My husband felt around the dogs anus gently and the dog yelped in pain. What could it be?

It could be his anal glands, he could have an infection or an impaction, i would recommend taking him to your vet to get it checked ASAP. if the anal glands are infected he will need a course of antibiotics, if they are impacted they will need to be manually emptied.
