Is this dog really neutered?

Got the lab neutered about 7 weeks ago. No problem. Fast recovery. I’ve noticed in the last week he is having what I guess are erections. I don’t know how to put this delicatey other than to say the “red” part comes out.

Is this normal even after a dog is neutered? Don’t say ask my Vet. No way. I’d rather ask you. :slight_smile:

When an animal is neutered only the testicles are removed, not the penis. So I would bet your dog is neutered :wink:

I ocaisionally see my dog’s penis. He’s been fixed for years.

It’s normal in all the neutered dogs I’ve seen. Not that I look or anything…

Ditto with the cats. Especially when “pawing( nursing )” at my wife’s neck. They’re in a high state of pleasure and comfort, and so they show a little winky. Doesn’t make em bad kitties, just makes em human. :smiley:

And yes obviously, they’re all fixed.

At my hospital, when we see a dog’s penis sticking out, we tell them to put their lipstick away. :slight_smile:

And yes, it is OK that his penis comes out once in a while. It doesn’t mean anything other than that he is relaxed and happy.

Good thing your dog’s neutering went well. Tonight we had a full grown Great Dane come in with complications. His scrotum was swollen to the size of a basketball! Happens a lot in large breed dogs. We had to icepack it.

Thanks for the image.

My dog gets a little wood every now and then and he’s been testicle free since '93.

Now that is the oddest date that I have ever heard about.

“put their lipstick away”

Classic.

Thanks to everyone for the dog penis info. I’ll quit worrying over it and get on with my life. Loved the lipstick line. :slight_smile:

GLad I could give everyone a laugh. But hey, that’s what a dog’s penis looks like! :slight_smile:

You are sooo right. It does look like lipstick and now we will all think of it when putting on our makeup. :slight_smile:
