Puppy's penis red/swollen after accident. Vet or home remedy?

Unfortunately from the picture you have provided it looks like Patches has developed PARAPHIMOSIS. This occurs when the glans penis extrudes from the prepuce and over a period of time the swelling caused by irritation, drying out and contact with environmental factors causes the penis to swell to a size which prevents it returning into the prepuce. Due to the change in color I am concerned about blood blow and the safety of the tissues. I would take Patches to the veterinarian immediately for medical intervention. The vet will make Patches for comfortable by eliciting pain relief. The veterinarian team will then attempt several approaches to safely return the penis to the prepuce. This can include lubrication and careful manipulation. The use of medications to reduce the swelling may also be used. Occasionally a small surgical procedure is required to correct the problem. I am so sorry that this has happened to Patches and I hope he receives medical attention soon and this issue is resolved. Best of luck to you both.

Hello, and thank you for your question. The photo is very helpful. It looks like a local area of inflammation due to a skin infection of the prepuce. I would recommend getting it checked out by the vet within the next 24 hours, who can prescribe the appropriate antibiotics to treat the infection. They can also examine more closely to see if there is an underlying cause, such as a foreign body in the prepuce that is causing irritation. In the meantime, I would suggest putting an e-collar (cone) over Ollie's head to prevent him from licking and further traumatizing the area. I hope this helps, and that Ollie feels better soon!

An abnormal shape to the penis could indicate inflammation or a tumor. I can’t tell from the photo if Wilie’s penis looks abnormal or not. This is a situation where a veterinarian visit is the best option. I recommend to have Willie examined by the veterinarian to get a better idea of what is going on. If the doctor is worried about a tumor, he may need an amputation. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

There are a couple of things this could be causing this to happen to Bruzer. It could be that he has an erection, and the penis is swollen and the tip is out because he is aroused. He could also be suffering from paraphimosis, which is an inability to retract the penis back into the sheath. This can quickly turn into an emergency situation, as constricting of the blood flow will lead to a larger engorgement of the penis, necrosis (dead tissue), and potential damage to the urethra. Should you suspect it isn't an erection and it is paraphimosis, I will give you some advice that may help Bruzer. If his penis hasn't been out too long (less than an hour), you can try to put it back yourself. First, thoroughly clean the penis, making sure there is no foreign material (such as fur) that is wrapped around the penis. Take a bag of frozen veggies wrapped in a towel, and apply it to the penis for five minutes at a time to try to reduce the swelling. Packaged peas work very well because they are mobile around the penis. Then apply a lubricant such as KY Jelly onto the penis, and very gently try to move the penis back into the sheath. Very gently try to push the penis back into the sheath, or try to gently pull the sheath over the penis. If this does not work, or if the penis has been outside the sheath for more than 30 minutes to an hour, you will need to take Bruzer into your vet.

The prepuce is very swollen. This is not normal. There is likely a serious problem going on and he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam. There are no home remedies that can be recommended without knowing the underlying cause of his condition. You can use warm water to wash the opening to the prepuce to see if you can "open" it and you can ice the rest of the prepuce to see if you can get the swelling to go down. That is the best I can tell you right now without more information.

Oh dear! Keep him in a quiet room, use some cold packs to reduce the inflammation, if present (do not use ice directly to the part) and if you feel confident try to replace the penis in its protect position using some vaseline cream. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.
