giraffez Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I just noticed a very strong yucky smell on one of my dogs. I narrowed it down and noticed a white cream like discharge coming out of his penis. i think its some kind of infection or something. ive wiped it down with aloveen and it doesnt seem to bother or hurt him when i do it. I'm going to take my dog in to the vet tomorrow if it doesn't clear. Has anyone had something similar with their dogs before? He is desexed by the way. No humping or anything noticed either Edited June 25, 2013 by giraffez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Buy a large syringe from the chemist, mix some salt and warm water, draw some up in the syringe and place the end in the sheath. Push the plunger, mop up with paper towels. I had to do this several times with Monte over his life. A few salt water flushes over a few days and it cleared up. This was the advice from my vet. Obviously if it doesn't clear up or gets worse or there are other symptoms, take him for a visit with your vet. I never noticed any smell though. Just dried mess around his penis, sometimes drips on the floor and the obvious moist discharge. Edited June 25, 2013 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It sounds like sheath and/or penis head infection probably ... vet visit is a good plan . he may need AB's , and also regular cleaning of the area with saline or something the vet prescribes.

Guest Ams Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes. saline is a weak solution of salt and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes, my old Italian Greyhound once had this. Straight to the vets - it was really stinky and gross when the vet pulled the sheath back. He then applied some cream and told me to put the cream on and rub it in, twice daily. Needless to say that Luigi was a very happy IG for the next 10 days or so .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Is this the one that has been acting fearful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffez Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Is this the one that has been acting fearful? Yeah it is, but I never noticed the discharge or smell before today. I cuddle him quite a bit and would have noticed the smell immediately as its quite strong. I've washed it down for tonight. Lets hope it clears by morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffez Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 its cleared up today after the wash yesterday - that you to those who suggested the saline solution. A bit of white at the end but no foul smell. Think I will take him to the vet still just in case the infection hasn't completely cleared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all. What is saline, is it just salt and water? dont buy Saline in a tin from the supermarket. It's a powder that mixes up into a sweet fizzy drink! I dont think he'd like that squirted into his doodle. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you should still take him to the vet, because whatever sort of infection it may be might not be totally cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet examined the sheath and nothing left, just the area was slightly red. No other visible medical issues.

Ohh that's kinda gross, yet efficient My dogs lick up their own anal gland expressions, so I guess penile discharge isn't much different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
