My puppy has metallic-smelling cream discharge. Is it normal smegma?

That is likely "smegma", a normal discharge in intact males. You can have your veterinarian exam him for confirmation. Monitor for excessive discharge or licking or for bloody discharge or difficulty urinating.

A certain amount of discharge, especially in intact male dogs, may be normal. This discharge is known as smegma. If there is an increased amount or if you notice a foul odor, excessive licking and difficulty urinating, then it may be that he has an infection either in the [urinary tract](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/utis-in-dogs) or under the prepuce. Take him to your regular vet when they open for an examination and diagnosis. They will be able to provide appropriate pain relief and treatment.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without seeing Harvey it is hard to say for sure what is going on. There is a normal yellow/green mucoid discharge (called smegma) that male dogs have to coat the penis inside the prepuce. There could also be an infection, like a bladder infection, but typically they have signs of increased thirst, frequent urination, and producing small amounts of urine at a time. To be sure, I recommend taking him to a vet for an exam and they can check the urine. If he isn't showing the other signs, I am suspicious this is the normal discharge male dogs have. I hope this helps. Kisses to Harvey!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If it is the brown stuff I am seeing in the picture, it could be a small yeast infection (that is consistent with the smell you describe as well). Trim the hairs around the penis and then I would just try 25% white vinegar 75% water solution on a cloth and gently clean twice daily. If the discharge is white/creamy, yellow tinged, or even a bit crusty, that can be normal - especially for an in tact male dog. If there is problems urinating, blood in the urine or blood in the discharge, or very large amounts of the discharge, then I am more concerned. Unfortunately we are not legally allowed to recommend specific drugs/doses without a physical exam (also I have no idea what's available near you), so you'd have to call or visit the vet in that instance. Best of luck to you and Lupus!

Yes, it's normal to see a small amount of yellow-green discharge at the tip of the penis in male dogs - this is called smegma, and is comprised of oils and secretions from inside the prepuce (the skin sheath that surrounds the penis). As long as Chester is acting normal, this shouldn't be any cause for concern. If he is licking this area excessively or having any trouble urinating, then I would recommend having it checked by your vet as these can be signs of an infection.

Yes, it is normal to have discharge coming from that area as long as it's a yellowish-greenish pus looking discharge. It's called smegma, and it's actually coming from the sheath of the penis. Cassidy will have this type of discharge throughout his life.

This discharge you are seeing may be smegma. This is a normal discharge, and it actually comes from the dog's penile sheath. Without seeing Chubby in person, I can't say this for certain, so you can have him checked by a vet just to be safe :-)
