Dog bleeding from his penis

[Rasputin]

Just brought the spaniel back from a walk no drama in the house for ten minutes then all of a sudden noticed he is bleeding ( just a few drops) from his todger. Tried to have a gander but he’s having none of it. It does seem like it’s bleeding from outside suspect may have caught it on something.

Other wise he’s in good form isn’t licking it or anything.

Thoughts?

Could just be a blood vessel. See what it’s like over the weekend, if still an issue Monday, see the vet

He’s just given it the first lick so cleaned it up after I took this but just for context

Post lick

Has he been in stubble? as its common for them to get stubble cuts right on the edge of the urethral opening.

It looks fairly clean
I’d suspect a puncture from something

That’s a great shout. Yes he was before he went over the style.

If he will let you, gently slide the prepuce (hairy foreskin bit) back to check the end of his glans penis (forbidden lipstick bit) for bruising/trauma.

If he wont let you and it doesnt clear up by tomorrow then I suggest a trip to see the vet of your choice.

Had a jr terrier do that, he had past a stone from his bladder.

If it tastes of salt, you maybe have a problem.Yes you.

There's a lot to be said for familiarising dogs with you touching all parts of their anatomy when they are puppies, so they are used to it and trust you. Wouldn't necessarily spend a great amount of time specifically on his todger, but you get the gist. Put fingers in his mouth, examine his ears, in between his paws, scratch his belly low down, that sort of thing.

However, I guess some dogs don't like their genitals poked about by a different species. Can you blame them?

WTH .

Obviously can’t be too bad he’s had a couple of ****es and now lay flat out on his back

Update dogs absolutely fine had a good root round and can’t see a Nick or anything so was either a very small Nick that just hit a vessel or he’s passed a stone of sorts.

Either way I’m glad it’s not another trip to the vets. Thanks SD folks.
