I just put my 17 week old female pup outside to be with my 5 year old male. As he was greeting her, he dribbled some urine from his penis.

He had to be neutered back in February, due to an enlarged prostate. Is there anyone who thinks this MIGHT NOT be related to the prostate problem?

{sigh} I've had well over $500 of vet bills this month, what with the new pup's health check, heartworm medication and tests, and both dogs being treated for whip worm! This is the LAST thing I need!

Yeah, I don't understand what your 17 week old pup and your males enlarged prostate have to do with each other .......You see blood in urine when prostate problems are evident, usually in  older, mature males with cycling females .. never ever saw dribbling urine by itself

Could it be he was just a little happy to see her and is an excitable dribbler??

$500 for health checks, HW tests and prev and panacur??? for 2 dogs?? You need to find a new vet !!

Hey, the previous vet was even MORE expensive! :-(  I got fed up when I went in to get routine shots for my little black cat, and walked out with an $85.00 bill for treatment of a minor ear problem, and NO shots. The vet said he'd do them when I came back for a recheck. I did not bother going back, and the new vet said the cat did not have an ear infection, just one ear that produced more wax than the other for some reason!

I should clarify that I live in Canada, not the U.S., so prices are a bit different.

What do Rats have to do with this?lol    Yes, the prostrate gland is on top to the Urinary tract and when males have problems of any kind, neutered or no, the urinary weakness is previlent......one of the clues that a male(person has a problem with prostrate , is frequent urination, or leaking  and sounds like that weakness is still there, and if he doesnt have cancer, then I wouldnt worry...He got excited and having a prostrate condition   that goes with it...just keep an eye on him , for swelling or any pain in those areas....... U need to get knowledge of how to worm your own pets, every six months and how to fight ear infectins....I just got a call , same deal,,,local vet charged owner of one of my females over $300.00 for an ear infection.....u should have seen the list of what they did and what they charge this poor young bachelor...man.....He said he argued with them, but didnt help....of course, notl,....after the fact.....I told him to go to my vet, and what did he need a vet for.....keep her head out of the water bucket, and gave him the ear recipe.......
