I did a quick search and found this:
You do have to take this problem seriously. Usually this happens because the bulbous glands of the
penis have managed to engorge outside of the prepuce, which makes it difficult, or impossible, for the
penis to retract. This can lead to problems if the situation isn't corrected. Often, we have to
anesthetize the dog, lubricate the penis and sheath well and then use traction sutures to move the
prepuce back up and over the penis. Sometimes it is even necessary to surgically widen the preputial
opening. We try to avoid doing this, if at all possible, though. If the opening is too wide, the tip of the
penis may stay extended and this appears to be pretty irritating to it.
This is important enough to try to find an emergency veterinary care facility if you can not contact your
usual veterinarian over the weekend.
I'm not sure of this addresses your puppy's specific problem. I'll keep looking. |
