I think that damage starts to occur after about an hour but I can't really remember. When this happened to Bailey, he was in obvious pain and his little penis had started to get very red and irritated. I rushed him into the vet and they had to do an emergency surgery to neuter him.

BTW, this can also happen if you leave the hair on the outside of the sheath too long. The hair can get caught and prevent the penis from retracting back into the sheath. I learned this with Tucker last year even though he's been neutered for over 7 years.
