Inflammation of the Penis and Prepuce in Dogs

We recently adopted an 18 month old Great Dane. The previous owners had never taken him to the vet and had never given heart worm prevention. Our vet saw him immediately and Jinx has been undergoing HW+ treatment for the past 7-8 weeks. We had him neutered base on the vet's recommendation to assist with his energy levels and keeping him still during the HW treatment. While undergoing the antibiotic treatment prior to the neutering and HW shots, Jinx woke with a very enlarged protruding penis with a bloody discharge. He was in obvious pain and it lasted for about 15-20 minutes. It has happened a few times since the neutering and is always accompanied with a bloody discharge. I expected this condition to go away after the neutering. What is going on? It has happened again twice in the past two days. Is it normal for a male dog who has been neutered to have these type of enlarged, protruding issues?

Watson is a neutered male and has recently begun having pus coming out from his penis. I took him to a vet who put him on broad-spectrum antibiotics (Simplicef) in hopes of the redness and pus to go away in two weeks. He's also had a cone on. We are about a week in and it is less red and has less pus, but now there are sores on the tip of his penis and on the side. They seem to be scabbing over but the fact that it's on the outside of the penis (the skin) has me nervous. Is this something not related to the urinary system if it's on his skin? I've started to put antibiotic ointment on the tip and skin where these sores/scabs are to hopefully supplement the antibiotics he's taking. He's had no change in diet or environment, so I don't think its related to that.

I just got a puppy yesterday and was informed that the rest of the litter would ‘suckle’ on his penis as if it were a mothers nip. Its very swollen and has a rash/weird substance on it. It doesn’t ooze or leak and wouldn’t come off with a bath. Are there any treatments that I could do at home?

HI!
I have a schnauzer, and I've been noticing that he's been constantly licking his genital area. This is strange behavior for him. Upon inspection, his for skin looks inflamed. I put a cone on him to stop the licking for now, but was wondering if this was worth the trip to the vet. We took him a couple of months ago because he was randomly ejaculating and was also wondering if this was related.

My dog was diagnosed with balanoposthitis two days ago. He was given an antibiotic shot. I also have a rinse I am doing for him for 5 days to continue to wash out the pus from the area. My question is - previously the week before this diagnosis my dog randomly had colitis and a day before he was diagnosed with balanoposthitis (a week after colitis) he vomited. He was treated for the colitis with metronidazole and it resolved. His blookwork all came back completely normal. The vet was never able to give a reason for the colitis. Could the colitis/vomiting be related to balanoposthitis?

I have a Chaweenie, he is almost a year old and he is constantly licking and biting his penis area , I’m not to sure what to call it , and he is very swollen there and it is almost a blood red color and he seems to be messing with that area a lot , it has been this way for about a couple weeks and I need to know can I put some triple antibiotic ointment on it ? Or will it severely harm him if I did ? I don’t have a whole bunch of money and my dog means the world to me and my children. Please , please don’t think of me as a bad owner. I just desperately need advice on what I can do for my fur baby to make him better , because he seems miserable.

Our vet diagnosed our male dog (neutered) as having "balanitis". We're giving him antibiotics and flushing the area. However, if the cause of the inflammation of the dog's penis is excessive licking, what can be done to prevent this from happening again in the future?

My dog has some areas which look like blisters on all his abdomen near his genital area, swelling of his penis and what looks like pus at the tip. Can someone tell me what this might be??

Good evening,
I have a Labrador, 8 and a half years old with pus secreting from his pines, no noticeable inflammation but I took the dog to a vet and told me it was irlichea and that the pus was normal, I didn't believe the pus was normal so took him to a lab, they took a sample of the pus and the diagnosis is serratia liquefasciens. I don't know what to do. Help please. Thank you

Dog in the past two weeks has been licking snd chewing on genitals not aggresively but he does occassionally pull on his penile shaft aswell. He is eating fine peeing fine and his overall demenor is the same usual happy dog we know and love! The area around the opening is slightly red but there has been no pus or discharge. The redness is never apparent until after he licks it. Hoping this is just slight irritation from the licking

Our intact male dog, Klaus, has been bleeding from his penile region with increased frequency for more than 6 months now. He was first diagnosed with a cut on his penis, however the bleeding returned 2 months later. He is dripping bright red fresh blood from his penis once a week now and it seems to be unrelated to time of day or physical activity. We've done blood tests, urine cultures, antibiotics, anti inflammatories and steroids and the problem still persists. It is not a clotting issue or UTI. When he bleeds he licks excessively at the area but once it stops he seems to be completely normal and is still very active. Klaus is unneutered but had one undescended testicle removed at age 1. He has had one very rough night of bleeding following a thorough examination of the penis and prepuce by our vet. He had explosive bleeding which clotted and subsided in 30 minutes followed by tenderness and discomfort. We've been to 2 vets and both are at a loss of what is causing this. The most recent suggestion is that it could be trauma and the next step would be to send him to the animal hospital for further diagnosis, testing and possible flushing. Is this an issue you've come across before?

My dog is a old English bull dog/ boxer mix and for a couple days his penis looks swollen and a bit pussy at the end. He's been acting strange too he wouldn't come in the house the other night my husband had to go get him and then he just lays by the door when he's got a bed. He won't come to me either just weird?

I have a 9.5 yr old lab/ retriever.
I noticed yesterday that his penis appeared red and inflamed on one side.
He is not licking his genital area, nor have I noticed any discharge.
It is difficult to tell whether he is more lethargic than usual, because he is usually very lazy anyway!!

My intact Boykin spaniel has tied up with a Boykin in heat twice. I noticed on Thursday that his manhood was still hard (inflammed) he is keeping his tail tucked and is in a lot of discomfort. Loss of appetite, not drinking a lot and lethargic acting. I took him to the vet Friday and she kept him over night, treating him for infection with anti inflammatory medicAtion as well as antibiotics. It is now Wednesday and his behavior hasn’t changed and his Manhood is still hard. (The pink part isn’t out but it’s hard inside the sheath). How long does it take for these medicines to work and for his swelling to go down??????

My 7 month old male husky/lab mix has recently started peeing in the house randomly, but not full on, more like dribbling pee. Like he can't help it. He is potty trained, I also noticed he looked a little swollen and a little pussy on his penis area as well. He has been licking it and getting boners a lot recently, not sure if that's related. He just recently finished an antibiotic and probiotics from our vet for bacteria found in his stool sample, he was not positive for anything, not sure if either of those would have caused a new infection. He does drink a lot of water but that is normal for him. He eats fine. Plays fine. I bathe him once a week with gentle shampoo. I am wondering if this could be a uti or something else since it looked a bit swollen and pussy as well with the dribbling pee all of a sudden.

What are your thoughts on the Convenia injection for dogs? I have a 11 pound Maltese and he received the injection today and I've been reading horror stories about pets dying shortly after the injection... Please, what are your thoughts...

My 15 year old voxer just had scrotal displaysia surgery because of an erupted testicle. He finished 30 days of antibiotics. Within the last week the site has become extrwmly red swollen and there are blisters or tumurs growing on the skin. He was not checked for cancer prior to the surgery.

My dog has been very tired lately he eats and sometimes i have to force him up to go out side . he has been sick for 3 days. He has goopy eyes and doesnt want to open them. When i wipe them off he showes his teeth like it hurts him. And he has puss coming from his penis. It also seemed swollen and purplish. Should i take him to a vet? (He is fixed)

My dog recently had a trauma to this penis and has been experiencing paraphimosis since, he's now on antiinflammatories following manual manipulation twice. Will it resolve itself?

My one year old Merle male neutered Chihuahua was licking his penis this evening. He’s done this before without issue until tonight. The tip will not retract and is pinkish/red. It doesn’t appear to interfere with his activity level but being a nurse I immediately put him in an inflatable collar to keep him from licking it further and washed the area with warm water and antibacterial soap, patting it dry.
The area is sensitive. Will this resolve on its own? Can I further home treat this? Or should he be seen by a vet?

I have an albino merle pit today his shaft skin i guess you call it looked swollen and red so i looked and didnt see anything and felt its hard on one side. Is this something i can try to treat at home first then if its not better take him in?

Can your dog get frost nip on their penis from playing in the snow from too long? Or weeing too many times and touching the ice in the process?

He had played for 1 hour in the snow on our walk and then we noticed on the evening that the tip of his penis was slightly inflamed / swollen. He didn’t seem to be in any discomfort and swelling seems to have reduced over the last couple of days, however, he’s still peeing a lot of walks (marking territory, nothing out of the ordinary) however after several weeks, there’s no urine. I’m not sure if that’s because he’s used all in his body or has a potential water infection. I’ve just checked him before bed and swelling is still reducing (nearly to normal) however I’ve noticed a small amount of milky discharge. Is this normal? Oscar hasn’t been nueted.

My Rottweiler just recently had a sudden onset of inflammation around the opening of his foreskin. It's swollen and a pale pink/white color; there is no sign to any discharge to my knowledge. He was licking himself more than usual which drew my attention to it. He recently had his first encounter with water and I've read that bacteria could be the cause of it. I hope the river water wasn't the cause. I've flushed with an antiseptic wash and placed a cone around his head to deter him from licking. Is there anything else I can do and is a visit to the veterinarian required?

My dog Toonie is a male Lab. He recently got stuck on our female dog, for what we think is his first time.. not to sure. Either way, now his penis is swollen on both sides of the pee hole and it has bloody pus inside on each side. We haven't treated him with anything yet and can not afford to take him to a vet if we can help it. I'd like to know what you may think it sounds like and then maybe we can go from there to find out how to treat him at home.

I just now noticed my chihuahua's penis is sticking out and very enlarged. He doesn't seem to be in any pain and is happy to play still. I really just looks swollen and won't go back in. Should I wait to see if it will go down or is this something that is urgent and needs a veterinarians attention right away?

My dog been spewing yellow bile in the morning for the past 3 days, but fine through the day, I noticed he spewed after licking his genitals today. There is also some puss and redness & is sore to touch. Not sure if this is related to him being sick?

Rosco Needs Help Please!!!!!!
