Penis unable to retract
Question: Hi dr Richards I just notice that My dog the silky terrier, 12+ years, m, (who has kidney problems) - his penis is stuck out and hard for the past 2 days. He has no other symptoms. Is there anything wrong with it. He sometimes licks his penis. Thanks a lot. Lily
Answer: Lily- You do have to take this problem seriously. Usually this happens because the bulbous glands of the penis have managed to engorge outside of the prepuce, which makes it difficult, or impossible, for the penis to retract. This can lead to problems if the situation isn't corrected. Often, we have to anesthetize the dog, lubricate the penis and sheath well and then use traction sutures to move the prepuce back up and over the penis. Sometimes it is even necessary to surgically widen the preputial opening. We try to avoid doing this, if at all possible, though. If the opening is too wide, the tip of the penis may stay extended and this appears to be pretty irritating to it. This is important enough to try to find an emergency veterinary care facility if you can not contact your usual veterinarian over the weekend. Mike Richards, DVM 4/2/2000

Sup, is he down there paying a lot of attention to it like he is concerned about it? And with your female being at the age where it can start that might be it but if he has been in this situation for a full 24 hours thats not right. If you want to know if the female is causing this have you seen any spotting (drops of blood) from her? Look back there and see if it looks different it's a fairly visible change.
By all means your vet is the proper person to consult with but I think something else is going on.
