(I did have a yorkie years ago that humped anything-always!) I do keep him clean and trimmed on his privates and have looked for stuck hair.. He was restless most of the night, but this morning his neck glands were not swollen!? Was wondering if allergies? A big cold front did blow in yesterday, and as I live on an island in S. Texas, we have very little pollen here. North winds do blow in pollens from Central Texas and bother many people. My Lil Bit did eat his breakfast (in this picky manner he has when not too hungry) and has been a bit sleepy today, but he(lol-we) did not sleep well last night. The embarrassing bulge problem has happened 5 times in the past 6 months, but never after seeing him hump. I really like my vet. Have taken all my yorkies to him over many years, but he is human and it is impossible for anyone to know everything! He did however seem to know what I was talking about and knew what - but not why this was happening.. Second opinion sounds pretty reasonable. Most of us Yorkie parents are very vigilant at staying on top of their health. They are so small and can be so fragil. The "over worrying" most think I have do not understand how quickly a little one can go from "just not himself" to serious - or realize how much we love with these beautiful spirited babies! I plan on getting my Lil Bit a check up tomorrow - just in case there are other lymph nodes swollen that I am not aware of. I will also research to find a vet to get a second opinion on his "battle of the bulge." There is only one here on the island - which is not the vet I use, so I must search elsewhere. Thanks to all. So nice to chat with others that have a real understanding of loving and caring for such a tiny pet that always becomes a family member! Once again, thank you all. |
Like Megansmomma says, it happens. Kaji was neutered over a year ago and he has all the "symptoms" you are describing. Really, I would say it's 100% normal. If your uncomfortable or not convinced, ask your vet. I wouldn't say it happens with Kaji all the time, but it has happened frequent enough that I know he's just excited. His penis doesn't come out of the shaft but it is swollen (for lack of a better word). When he tries to walk and his penis is in that state, he walks like a cowboy that has been on his horse for way too long. Think of it this way, if you had something swelling in between your legs, would you be walking normally? Sure they're uncomfortable, but what can you do? It's part of having a boy, especially an un-neutered one.
Oh and the problem with the hair being stuck wouldn't cause his penis to swell. That problem presents itself when the penis is out of the shaft exposed and is having problem going back in. That's when you check to see if any hair is in the way making it hard for the penis to slip back in.
I have never in my life typed the word penis so much. I'm starting to feel dirty.
