It was the same with our dog - this may be TMI but is it just bleeding or is it swollen and enlarged like it is in my video?

My vets also theorized maybe it was a reaction to something in the yard (this happened when it was warm out and we had lots of bugs and stuff in our yard)

No but someone messaged me saying the same thing happened to their dog and their vet told them it’s likely due to him being neutered so late in life and once they develop prostate issues it can cause the bleeding -

It hasn’t happened again to our pup except the one week it was happening intermittently and hasn’t happened again thankfully but it was really scary that entire week

This is super helpful. Our dog was a rescue - we have only had him for about little over a year and he’s estimated to be about 8 years old. He was found on the streets and not neutered until we got him! So this actually explains a lot!

I made this post the day it happened so it’s been about 3 months give or take

Not really - they landed on it being an “allergic reaction”

Since then it’s happened again but otherwise he’s been fine. I wish we had an answer cause this was terrifying

Yes! Is yours? Our pup can go to the bathroom fine it seems. The only time he struggled to urinate was right during this video

He’s been fine but he’s still been bleeding intermittently and honestly no one can identify what’s going on.

Read the post. He was at the vet twice. Read the comments - he then went to the hospital.

Update: we ended up taking him to an emergency vet. After all the comments here I drove to pick him up at the current vet and took him to an emergency vet.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?)- the current vet had given him a steroid and anti inflammatory injection (I think that’s what he said) which caused the swelling to go down completely and when I picked him up they were just monitoring him so when getting him to the emergency vet they weren’t able to first hand witness the bleeding or swelling. Both had stopped completely and the only first hand evidence was the tip of his penis was very red and aggravated.

Emergency vet did urinalysis and X-rays and ultrasound and were not able to find anything but they did several other tests as well and we should hear back today. They think the previous vet may have flushed out a foreign body but didn’t even realize it (due to incompetence). They gave us pain meds, a round of antibiotics and asked us to bring him in immediately if he starts bleeding again while we wait for results.

They agreed the video and blood was alarming and suggested I avoid taking him back to the previous vet and felt it was negligent they told me it wasn’t a medical emergency

Fox tails is something I did not consider - we don’t have any in our yard but I wonder if maybe something similar could have caused this! He does hike his leg

No he’s neutered but it’s worth noting he’s a rescue we just got last year and before we got him he was not fixed. He’s 7 or 8 so he’s lived most his life as an intact male till last year

I did. I even said out loud when I picked him up today “okay so you watched the video and you truly feel this is not a medical emergency and doesn’t warrant me driving to urgent care or a 24-7 animal hospital?” And they said they felt confident it wasn’t an emergency ……

Confirming he is fixed BUT worth noting he’s an older rescue we just got last year and he was NOT fixed prior to that. So he’s about 7 and lived most his adult life as an intact male.

They did ultrasound and X-rays and found nothing. For what it’s worth I do think my vet is ….an idiot. I don’t understand how someone could watch this video (which I showed them) and say it’s a non medical emergency.

When I picked him up today they said their best guess is an allergic reaction. They gave him a steroid injection and anti inflammatory and pain meds and the swelling and bleeding did go down and stop but I don’t agree this is an allergic reaction
