 Cooper Has Struvite Crystals & Personal Male Problems
This is a little tough to talk about, but I'm sure many of you remember the lipstick thread. I woke one one morning about 2 weeks ago and Cooper was humping air. His "lipstick" was stuck in the out position. This happened 3/4 nights and off to the vet we went. It was time for his annual blood work so we did all blood work and a urinalysis. Everything came back normal except for struvite crystals. The vet did not put him on antibiotics, but we switched his food to Royal Canin SO. The vet didn't see much correlation between his erection problem and the crystals.
It's now almost 2 weeks later and he's still having erections (although not as often) when he wakes up in the morning and I have to help him. The vet thought it possible that a dog was in heat nearby, however we just moved about 5 miles away and I don't believe that's the case.
I'm going for a second opinion Thursday to a new vet who comes highly recommended. Cooper appears completely fine except for random mornings. He's eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom with no issues. He's lively and as always, full of energy.
