5 Month puppy with a penile discharge :(
Submitted by KerrinHayes on February 8, 2013 - 7:01amHi There,
Can anybody give me some advice on my poor darling puppy? He's 5 months old and has occasionally started bleeding and secreting a mucous like discharge from his penis - I've already put him on a course of anti-biotics which had some results, but the condition still seems to come and go on a day to day basis. What could be wrong with my gorgeous boy???
Thanks,
Kerrin

He could be having a little prolapse...
which would cause the bleeding. He's been to the vet?
He has! She said the same
He has! She said the same thing! But what is a prolapse??? How does it affect him? Is he in pain?? Will it shorten his life span?? ;(
Sorry...
I went on a cruise and lost contact with the outside world for a week! Prolapse is fairly common, I've never had a male with it but I know people that have. Most importantly get him neutered so he's not getting 'excited' - that can bring on the bleeding. If it happens frequently or bleeds for a period of time, they will most likely do a small surgery to fix it. Not life threatening, just needs to be watched.
