A little pain med., sure...but I am not sure about sedation. Pepper had a rupture once that got real bad to...bad enough that I took him to the vet for anti-biotics, ect as well, so I know how freaked out you must have been feeling...especiall y before you knew what it was....I can be scary, lol. Glad he will be ok. Make sure you ask the vet to show you how to express his glands because since he is prone to problems, it is something that needs to become part of his regular routine.
