Hi.
Obviously you should take him to the Emergency room.
The causes can be Left ureteric impacted stone or colitis or sigmoid volvulus or simply an initiation of gastroenteritis.
Go to ER
Get ultrasonography, blood and urine examination done. Standing X-ray abdomen also helps to see any intestinal Obstruction.
