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.
I'm not sure of this addresses your puppy's specific problem. I'll keep looking. |
We had one of our rescue's have surgery done twice for this and if it doesn't work this time they will have to remove the penis. I have no clue what that means - a catheter? The vet did say that it was unusal to have this surgery twice.
