  This seems unlikely even though it cannot be ruled out. Early pregnancy tests can be performed (relaxine usually at about 22-27 days), but the most reliable way of detecting and monitoring pregnancy is abdominal ultrasound. Developing embryos can be detected as early as three weeks post-breeding and the viability of the fetuses can be determined throughout the pregnancy. Ultrasound is the ‘gold standard’ for detecting pregnancy and assessing the viability of the fetuses.
  Inducing abortion in early pregnancy phases is possible as well through an injectable medication, please ask your local veterinarian.

  Hi and thanks for your request.
  Pardon me for the previous answer. I thought you were more concerned about your female dog.
  To be able to evaluate any possible injury on your dog’s penis, a pic of it with retracted prepuce would be essential. In these cases if bleeding is not persistent/active and if there are no other signs like persistent licking of his penis or frequent urination then a major trauma is unlikely. minor traumas are most commonly self limiting and resolving. A buster collar would be needed if he is licking his private parts.
