Hi, I'm Dr. A., thank you for reaching out to just answer today. I am happy to assist. Please give me a few moments to review the information you have provided.
Please be aware I am a licensed veterinarian, but since I am not actually examining your animal, I cannot legally provide you with any specific diagnosis or prescribe medication. I can only speak in general terms about what might be happening and help you determine if/when you need to seek medical attention.
The symptoms you are describing are very common with anal gland impaction/infection.
I would recommend getting Kingsley into your veterinarian for an exam and to have the glands expressed.
In the meantime, you can give him Aspirin at 5 mg per lb. or Tylenol at 7 mg per lb. every 12 hours to help with the pain/inflammation. I would also recommend getting the supplement Glandex to start treating him with to help him get the glands expressed on his own.
Either a pet store or you can order it online.
