Discharge From Penis

[knitmehappy]

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).

thanks Rappie, from this info he is not in any discomfort so hopefully its just a normal smegma thing :)

Is it more common in entire males? I hate 'finding' it when I put my arm under a dog's hindquarters to stop it sitting when I'm grooming

Worth a vet visit just in case but my boy occasionally has this also and i just make up some salty water to flush the area (i use a syringe), on the advice of my vet. If i see what looks like a thin blob of snot on my tiles i know he has it again LOL

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.

That's it! Couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called :)
