Help thingy hanging out - UPDATED

donna1000

Hi all looking for advice, Marley my puggle last night decided to hump his material bed now the thing is when i came in to the room his thingy (penis) was hanging out, now i just thought that was normal, so he went into his bed this thing still exposed, woke up this morning still the same, the thing is im really worried this thing is huge for such a small dog, and he is in pain he cant sit down, i asked my neighbour this morning about this and when he seen it he said he needs the vet, now i have been trying the emergency mobile but no answer so while im waiting thought i would ask you guys thanks for any help.
Very worried pet owner
UPDATE:Marley has come around from general anestectic vet keeping him till tomorrow, he is on antibiotics and anti inflamortories had a little stitch thanks for all your concern, will update tomorrow.

Yep, definitely vet time. Have you tried pulling the sheath back over it? (Gently!!!)

Where are you based? There's an emergency vet clinic in Dublin at the UCD Vet School on the N11 at Belfield that's open 24hrs a day all weekend .. call them on 1890 564 036 even if you aren't local and they can at least give you some advice over the phone as to how serious they think it is, and if you are local to them you can take your dog in any time. Good luck.

Good Luck, poor little fella. All the same, it's amazing the size of the things, esp on a small dog :eek: Let us know how he gets on.

Hi all thanks for your concern and help, Marley has gone to the vets the vet was amazed he said he has hasd a prolaspe, he has sedated him and going to hopefully put it back in, now the vet has said it is trying to keep it back in that is the problem, vet also cannot understand it that he has been neutered, oh god im so worried it was really hard leaving him at the vets, can you beleive it our vet is still not answering his phone.
i will keep you informed.

Glad to hear you got him medical attention. Go easy on your own vet, everyone deserves a day off.

Hi all, Marley had his stitch out of his thingy today, now the vet has told me that this does not usually happen to dogs that have been neutered, he said i would have to get a behaviour therapist, what do you all think?

peasant

Well, our dog is neutered but he still gets the occasional erection (for no apparent reason) ...no prolapse though, thankfully.

I'm not really convinced that there is much a behaviourist can do.

donna1000

Marley loves to hump anything, the vet is saying he is doing it out of behaviour, really did not want to go down the behaviourist route had one before for our old dog who was having problems on the lead and she said he had a learning disability and we should put him down, unfortunatly we lost our beloved cisse to last year.

Then make him stop. You don't really need a behaviourist for that. Just tell him no, take away whatever he humps (or alternatively remove the dog in case of larger "lovers" ) and be consistent about it.

Best is to stop him just before he starts

Male canids are the only animals that have a bulb or locking bulbus, it's a bone that keeps it erect. You vet must have been sick from dog mickey day in school. I'm amazed.

Every time Marley brings anything in from his room he humps it, i do take it of him, i have tried to ignore him, i have tried to distact him by giving him his small toy or ball?

Stop being nice to him ...take it away, tell him off in a stern voice (and mean it!), be consistent, and don't forget to reward good/wanted behaviour

Give him clear, unmistakable signals and he'll cop on

Micky Dolenz

I agree with peasant, you are top dog, what you say goes. This young dog needs a pack leader, this has to be your role. The dog will feel more comfortable when boundries are set.

Thanks a mill for the advice, shall do it just wanted thoughts on the behaviour route, and if it was behavioural.
Thanks again boards.
