There is something wrong with my dog. Since Friday night he has been screaming in pain every 5 min and looking at his butt area. I thought maybe he was compacted so i gave him laxatives and that seemed to help a little bit but he has gone potty a bunch now and he is STILL screaming. I dont know what to do!!

there is a possibility that he may have a problem with his anal sacs (impaction, infection or even an abscess). THis is something that should be checked by your vet as this can get out of hand quite quickly ( if its an abscess it may even rupture) and is usually vet painful. Please make sure he gets checked over tomorrow.
Good luck, let me know how he gets on
