knitmehappy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm fairly sure this is not normal. My 4yo Lab has a drop of white/sometimes light greenish stuff appearing on the end of his penis fairly regularly. At first I thought maybe he had had a wee and it was a drip, but I'm fairly sure its not urine. He is neutered. 2-3 months ago he had 2 courses of antibiotics for gastroenteritis, is it possible he has thrush? I'm not sure how long this has been happening, I think I noticed it a couple of times 2-3 weeks ago, but it disappears so it could have been there for a while. I don't spend a lot of time looking under there. Should he have a trip to the vet? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 yes definitely vet!!!! poor guy is probably in pain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitmehappy Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 yes definitely vet!!!! poor guy is probably in pain!! Thanks I will book him in. He doesn't seem bothered by it (no excessive licking or anything) but of course he can't talk so I can't say whether its painful or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 This can be quite normal and some dogs always have a small amount of pale cream discharge, kind of like the smegma equivalent in dogs. If the discharge is very smelly though or is green or particularly gunky then it could be balanitis which is an inflammation of the opening of the penis and should probably be seen by the vet and depending upon the severity, regular flushing or antibiotics may be advised.

Allerzeit Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sounds like smegma, which is normal :) As long as it's not a lot, he's not licking excessively and it's not smelly, then I wouldn't be worried - but as always, if you're concerned it never hurts to get a vet to check :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Better to be safe then sorry, they'll probably want to swab it and at least start him on prophylactic antibiotics if it pus. Let us know how he gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitmehappy Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I will get it checked, he needs his shots soon anyway so I will do it this week. Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) It can happen a lot :) It's usually nothing drastic , and the vet may just suggest flushing the sheath with , perhaps a saline solution , or something, rather than use A/B's Hope the vet check is a good one .

Salukifan Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sounds like smegma. Its more common name is "dick cheese". :laugh: If worried see you vet but unless there is evidence of more than a drop being produced, I'd not bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

**Super_Dogs** Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think this sounds pretty normal. Unless there is more than a drop all the time, I would not bother going to the vet. Love the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappie Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well on a serious note - signs of discomfort in the nether regions would include things like: - reluctance to posture to urinate, whether this be leg cocking or squatting - walking awkwardly (like they've been hit in the goolies, regardless of whether they actually have any goolies) - copious thick white, yellow or green discharge, or any blood tinged discharge - persistent licking at the penis / prepuce - pain on gentle palpation of the penis / prepuce (from externally) - pain or reluctance to allow the penis to be exteriorised and an angry, red, inflamed or ulcerated surface to the mucosa and sometimes persistent engorgement of the bulbourethral gland even when 'quiet' (ie. not excited at all).
