My dog's back legs are weak and his penis bled, but he shows no pain.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

I woke up to my dog barely being able to use his back legs and his penis was dripping blood a lil but has stopped. I've pushed around his back legs and hips and he doesn't show any pain signs.. Can someone please help me.?

I would be suspicious that he got hit by something (like a car) from what you are describing. If he cannot stand, or barely stands and has no pain, then it could be a lower spinal cord injury. Blood coming from the penis usually indicates an injury to the penis or the urethra.

Considering both of these problems could be serious and get much worse, it's best to take him to the vet as soon as you can. It doesn't appear to be an emergency at this time, so you may be able to wait until normal business hours if he is otherwise eating, drinking and acting normal.

I hope that helps and he gets better soon.
