Prolapsed urethra; Melanie can you send me the journal article
Submitted by admin on April 20, 2010 - 5:25pmHello everybody!! My name is Darren and Im a new bulldog owner; his name is Spencer. Today I was freakin out when Spence was urinating more than usual and I was finding blood. First thought was kidney damage, since I realize that this breed is prone to health problems, but upon further investigating I found redness at the tip of his penis. Thank god I found this web site which has kwelled the many disturbing thoughts I was relating to what may be his problem.
Tomorrow I will be visiting the vet and I will be prepared, which I give thanks to this site.
I would like to receive the article Melanie previously mentioned from the Journal of American Animal Hospital Association. I have tried to access the journal through my means of journal retrieval, but this journal is not an option. I am very curious to see what is the most recent literature available pertaining to this bulldog problem.
Thank you,
Darren
Darren... prolapsed urethra
I will be happy to send you the article. Unfortunately, I do not have an electronic copy, so my only option is to send it via fax or snail mail. Please email me and let me know what you prefer.
Have you indeed confirmed that Spencer has a urethral prolpase? If he is only bleeding during urination, it may be an infection or stones. It's definitely worth a visit to the vet to determine the exact prognosis.
If he does have a urethral prolapse, it can range in degree from very mild to serious, depending on the size of prolapse and amount of bleeding. In my experience with Grady, his prolapse was slightly larger than a pea, and the bleeding was excessive at times. Bleeding can occur at any time, not just with urination. In fact, the bleeding will most often occur during an erection, especially just after waking up from a sleep.
Look forward to talking with you more!
