Up late with my 19 mo. old male Lil Bit. He is 4 1/2 #'s and is not feeling too well. He has been restless and I got up and noticed his lymph nodes in his neck were swollen. He is still restless, so I stayed up and posted a question on the sick forum. While waiting to see if anyone is up this late, I decided to ask about another problem he has had. I noticed that he was very timid one day, hiding and moving very strangely. I picked him up and looked him over. I found that on the right side(looking at his privates) there was a huge bulge going down to and including his right testicle, which was also extremely large. How could such a small dog have such a large male organ??
I immediately called my vet and was told his penis "locked" inside the skin. I laid him on my lap and just gently rubbed his tummy and bulging abdominal area. It did go back to normal within the hour. Yes, an hour! This has happened several times since then. I was told not to worry by my vet, but really.. is this normal??? He is very uncomfortable when this happens and shakes and is so pitiful. Would laugh at the size of him and his predicament except he does seem to hurt so! Sorry for such an odd question..searched the archives but did not find anything similar asked before! Would appreciate any info.
