Phimosis in Dog

Phimosis is an anomaly in which the male can not raise his partially erect penis due to the extremely small opening of the foreskin. The erection that takes place inside the foreskin provokes discomfort and pain in the animal. After that, there can be "Balanopostitis", which is the inflammation of the internal tegument of the penis and foreskin. Young animals frequently have a foreskin flow that is nothing serious. But if the flow is plus infected or is a slightly tainted with blood, it is evidence of the presence of inflammation dog usually lakes and bites the foreskin, sometimes originating from that take injuries. If the gland is extracted, you can observe the red end and inflamed internal tegument, with small nodules that, in extreme cases, can ulcerate. "Paraphimosis" when the penis, in total or partial erection, has come out of the foreskin, but the foreskin opening retracts, and acting like a tourniquet, impedes the detumescence and retraction of the penis inside the foreskin. It generally shows up in young animals after sexual intercourse. This escalation can be serious due to the possibility of gangrene in the organ. As an immediate response, you can stick the penis in freezing water in order to decongest the organ. In all the mentioned cases, you should head for the veterinary clinic.
