| HELP!!! penis tip swollen wont go back in?! hello, I have a one year old male Yorkie. I also have a three year old female Pit Bull. They are best friends, but now Kai (my male) has a swollen Penis tip that wont go back in. I called a few vets in town but all are full today and I would be charged an emergency fee if I take him in. One nice nurse told me to let him chill out for an hour or two. Then if it still wont go away I would need to call back. Does anyone have any suggestions? I read on here to use sugar? maybe give him a cold bath? I am just worried. it looks odd. I have seen his "lipstick" before but nothing like this. it looks almost like its split at the tip? or is that "the Knot" that I just found out about by reading on here. Thank you for your help! Amanda |

| You can try to put him into the sink and run cool water on his penis. If the hair is keeping it from retracting you can try a little KY jelly to the tip. If its been exposed to the air for a while it might just be dry and stuck to the hair. Either "method" will work. This is a serious issue and I cannot believe a vet tech would have told you to let him "chill" for an hour or two! When it happened with one of my boys I used the sink sprayer to really get him wet. Poor little guy shivered afterward but it went right back. Is your female Pit in heat?

| If she isn't spayed and he's not neutered it will continue to happen. Dogs do not care about the size difference and just want to get the "job" done.

| Figured out how to take care of this for my Yorkie. My Yorkie...Sheldon...had this problem yesterday. The tip of his penis was visible, appeared to be swollen, and there was no way it was going to fit back into the sheath. I tried sugar water and tried just giving him a bath, but that wasn't working. I was able to pull the sheath further back, making more of his penis visible, but the sheath was so tight that I could tell that if the swelling of the head did not go down, there was nothing to do but take him to the vet. I got some KY Jelly to keep everything lubricated to be sure nothing started to dry out. He would lick that, though, so I had to keep applying it. I started lubricating the sheath, as well, thinking that might make it looser. It didn't, much, but after a few hours of keeping everything lubricated...the sheath did start to absorb the KY Jelly. Then I discovered what had happened, because I could feel it...the sheath was too short and too tight because it had...somehow...become folded back into itself. Like putting a sock on your foot and then tucking the top down into itself. The frequent KY Jelly application and massage had made everything, even inside the sheath, slippery. I gently pulled the sheath further back away from the swollen head and, due to the lubrication, the sheath "un-tucked" itself. It was now long enough again and the head...swollen as it was...just popped right back in. He was fine all night long and fine again, this morning. Never had any indication of pain, though that had to be uncomfortable. He's his normal happy and bouncy self, today, and everything down under is back to normal. This was really freaking me out yesterday and I thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into this in the future. I'm keeping the KY Jelly on hand in case this ever happens again! |

| I know this situation not funny, and I'm glad to hear that alls well now. But, it reminded me of a time about 3 yrs ago, that my Shih Tzu Harry had the same thing happen. I was completely surprised (and stupid). I swear I thought because he was neutered it stopped working, haha. Well, it was out and stuck. I had no idea what to do, so I called my brother in law because he was helping me with stuff after my husband died...well, in my panic I never thought how stupid my call would sound to someone on the other end of the phone. me- OMG..Harry's ###K is out and it wont go back in. bil- Who's Harry and what are you doing to him?, haha. me-Hes my dog!! BIL- wow, you do miss Joe, haha. Ok, its a true story, sorry. End result was he told me what's been said..give him a cold bath and if that doesnt work, get to the vet. It went back in on its own. It was pretty funny at the time. To this day my BIL asks how's Harry's ###K..lol I hope thats not too offensive for this forum. |
