Exclamation Striped Japanese Rat Snake with a sore bum

I'm very alarmed to find my Striped Japanese Rat Snake has a swollen nasty looking area around his cloaca. His name is Aristotle, 4 years old. I recently got back from my hols in Australia after leaving him with a friend to find he had a nasal discharge, raspy breathing when he eats and a swollen cloaca area. He's my first snake.

Anyone got any ideas? I wanted to take him to the vet (who doesn't have much idea about snakes, this being Japan, no surprise) but he's closed for two days.
