Now I am not feint hearted when it comes to dogs, owning five. I have a 13 mth old Bulldog. He has on four separate occasions now, necessitated a visit to the vets, who have the delicate problem of putting his willy wobbler back where it should be. It's not distended fully, but seems to have a life of its own, in that it can't go back. Although he is only a pet, I really don't want to neuter him. Anyone else had this problem?

it will get dry saying hello to the world, as your not feint hearted id lube it up for him , sorry sounds grim but its painful for him not going back in. If a dog ever slips a tie and his gland is fully swollen after however long until it deswells it doesnt have the lube of being inside a bitch so it dries out abit and its very painful for them and they squeal and try to lick it to get it back in. If he licked it himself he wouldnt need you or a trip to the vets, just abit of spit and it should go straight in. but since he isnt doing this you will have to wet it for him. not a pleasant subject but he should be better once he matures.

Also a cold cloth held on the spot should help. I have a story about one of my Boxers having this problem one Christmas morning but as this is a family forum I'll leave it to your imagination :-p

Funny first time this happened to one of my dogs- Dozer- noticed him walking around for awhile and his was out- just helped a bit and back where it should be :-)

As well as simply getting to dry if the hair is long on the end of the sheath it may be helping to keep his willy stuck out and gently rolling the skin back outwards to release the hair will help (or carefully easing the hair out if the skin hasn't rolled in). I imagine if that's the case then keeping the hair trimmed short should help stop it happening.
What has the vet said?

I know exactly what you mean...Actually this morning, I just monitored the situation instead of giving the local vets' another amusing tale (groan...), not to mention the obligatory £20-30 each time. After 3 hrs, it had reduced in size, to the point where I practically had to stand on my head to keep an eye on it. It then very quickly disappeared from view and all was back to normal. Humphrey then, and only then stopped walking like John Wayne and got back in the saddle to torment Doug the Pug. My vet and another one I consulted earlier in the week, while visiting Chester, suggested neutering. I know it would probably be the best solution for several reasons, but since 'it' only happens after waking and going outside, it isn't triggered by sexual urges, I am loathe to do it. He is incredibly soft and unmacho,and I don't want to lobotomise him.

I don't blame you! As far as I am aware (in my limited experience) a dog can still have erections despite being castrated and if his only problenm is occasional help needed to get it back i n, I also personally wouldn't put my dog through suregery).

Sorry, I do appologise for all the spelling/grammer mistakes - belated new years celebration as my frend has only just got out of hospitiol, so I've had far to much wine!!
