My puppy's penis is swollen and looks like it has extra balls.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 30 lbs

My puppy, about 8 or 9 months old randomly yelped out of pain yesterday. I originally thought maybe he swallowed something the way he was acting then he lays on his back and his whole penis area is super swollen and it’s even sticking out a little and it looks like he had two sets of balls. I googled what the ball like things sticking out were and they are some glands. I rubbed the glands a little to see if swelling would go down. It did but the glands were really hard. Like not good.

That gland is a normal occurrence when they get excited. When they calm down they go away and don’t swell. It is not painful for this process and they are firm to the touch. Getting him neutered will prevent this from happening in the future

My puppy's bulbous glands are rock hard for hours. Should I worry?

First, stop touching the area since extra stimulation will keep them enlarged. As long as the penis is still within the prepuce (covered by the hair part), it is not a concern and will go down when the visual, smell, or physical stimulation is gone. If there are in-heat dogs in your house or neighborhood, it may go on longer. Having him neutered will also help.

My puppy has a balloon-like bump near his penis. Is it normal?

If what you're seeing looks like a symmetrical swelling near the base of his penis in front of the scrotum, what you see is likely the *bulbus glandis*. This structure is a normal part of the male dog's anatomy. The *bulbus glandis* swells during [mating](https://www.petcoach.co/article/anatomy-and-function-of-the-reproductive-system-in-dogs) which causes the dogs to tie or 'lock' together during the act. It may swell when the dog is excited, even in a neutered dog.

My neutered dog looks like he has testicles again. What is it?

What you may be seeing is the *bulbus glandis*. It is a normal part of the [male dog anatomy](https://www.petcoach.co/article/anatomy-and-function-of-the-reproductive-system-in-dogs). The *bulbus glandis* 'ties' a male and female dog together during mating. It doesn't mean his testicles have grown back, only that he is excited. It may also occur with an erection when a dog is overstimulated or happy. The swelling will go down as the dog calms.

Why does my neutered dog have a hard lump on his penis? Is it normal?

Male dogs have a structure called the *bulbus glandis* along the shaft of the penis. The gland swells when they get excited or sometimes when they have to urinate. These glands are responsible for the "tie" that occurs during breeding. Even though your dog is neutered, he can still get erections, so likely something excited him causing the glands to swell. It is a perfectly [normal part of his anatomy](https://www.petcoach.co/article/anatomy-and-function-of-the-reproductive-system-in-dogs) and no cause for concern.

Why is my dog's penis tip suddenly swollen or looks like a ball?

Your dog may have been licking his penis tip a bit excessively and therefore it appears swollen, If the swelling does not subside within the next day or two and/or if he cannot retract the penis tip all the way into the prepuce, or if the color changes, then you will need to have him examined by your vet, He may need some medications or ointment to reduce the swelling and to keep the tip from drying out.

My dog's penis is swollen, but he's not in pain. What's wrong?

This is a serious edematous swelling and needs to be seen by a veterinarian today. This may be located in the preputial mucous membrane, or possibly the tip of the penis. Unfortunately I cannot determine this from the photo. Please take Tyson to a veterinarian or PetER today. You may want to put some vaseline on the swelling to keep it from drying out.

My puppy has a groin bulge that comes and goes. Is it a hernia?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At the base of the penis, in neutered and unneutered male dogs, a gland called the bulbourethral gland. This is quite common and nothing to be concerned about. Based on the picture you have provided, I would say that this is what you are seeing and is nothing to be concerned about. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
