LadyC, I just remembered my Pancho boy developed the same sort of dripping after his neutering, and my dachshound Willow did it all of his life (never neutered), so I don't think it has something to do with it. I think you have to accept the fact he's a boy and drips lol Here in Holland we echo a lot, before we take x-rays. If there's nothing to be seen, then we'll do the x-rays, oke, it costs twice, but then over here the vets are not out on cash, if nescesary one can pay in terms yeah

He has no wetting problems, just some odd stuff coming out of his penis, it's whitish milky liquid and the tests say he has an infection

quote: ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze I have the same problem with my 6 1/2 year old female Dobie, she's on hormones or else she wets herself in her sleep, but yes, also paid for all sorts of tests as it might have been a bladder problem.. Duh! In the end it was just the hormones... The boy shows no discomfort and is not even remotely incontinent, he drinks a lot and therefore pees a lot, he does so with great enthusiasm and apart from some smegma looking stuff coming out of his penis, there's nothing wrong with him (especially not with his appetite or activity) I love this story, and you for rescuing him, LadyC [:)]

quote: WEll the tests just showed that there is an infection Good news, your on the right track with antibiotics! It still could have been caused by not enough hydration, rather then a bug. I rescued a dog that I sold to some....well, lets just not bring them up. They couldn't take the time to house train, so decided to limit his water instead. We discovered his kidney problem as we were running a slew of tests (he had many health concerns due to neglect). Top the lack of water with a low grade dog food, probably full of sugar and salt and not much else. If it went on long enough with your guy, that could be the culprit. Either way, I am glad to hear the vet reports, he sounds like one lucky pup to have found you :) Last minute thought, can you find out what he was being fed at the RSPCA? So much of what sickens us and our four legged friends is diet related.

Sounds like a "Laternentripper" (Vorhautentzündung) that had enough time to take root and move upwards to the urinary tract. Quite common in male dogs, be they neutered or not. Right now the infection seems to be advanced enough for antibiotics to be merited. In the future, if you notice first sign, or even once a week preventively if you have a dog that is susceptible to this, you can use a large syringe (the huge ones used with feeding tubes work well, without needle, of course) filled with a lukewarm solution of something like Kamillosan or Betaisodona (or whatever the UK equivalents are) to rinse the sheath of his penis. Betaisodona is especially good if it is not preventive, but because you fear that a infection is starting, Kamillosan is good for preventive treatments. Further helpful in future prevention is keeping the fur on his penis sheath very short. All in all a rather harmless condition (if treated), that reacts well to simple measures if caught early. Our newfoundland dog gets it from time to time too, it was never difficult to get under control, and since we rinse once a week preventively we have not had another bout.

Ugh, makes me angry to hear that, I could never ever be a breeder, I wouldn't be able to let go off the puppies, and would possibly demand that they are under constant observation just to make sure the dog would be alright... I tend to restrict the water intake in the evenings, just to make sure I get my 8 hours of sleep (he's better than an alarm clock, at 6 am he starts whinging) but during the day they always have water, with the dog food, Kia's on senior dog food as she's suffering from arthritis in one leg and keeping her weight as low as possible while still healthy helps her a lot, that along with flexi-joint pills and injections that are about £300 every 3 to 6 months plus salmon and cod liver oil capsules and evening primrose oil... She has improved a lot, when I got her, she was loved but they didn't have time for a dog that obviously needs lots of exercise, like Alfie she had no commands, they thought 10 minute walks twice a day are enough for a Doberman and made up for the lack of time with food, so I got a dog that was 4 years old and almost 50 kilos, she's now down to a healthy 34 kilos, I didn't starve her but just lots of walks and play, bulked the food up with low calorie stuff (string beans and veg - she loves eating cooked veg), she now does tricks and all sorts. Alfie also came without commands, was pulling on the lead like a nutter, he already walks at heel, sits, gives the paw (and the other plus "Bunny" - that is him sitting on his hindlegs with both paws up - he did that by mistake, praised him and gave him a treat and said "Bunny" now if you say Bunny he'll do it), comes back when called... Dobermans are seriously clever dogs, if people don't work with them or teach them stuff, they're getting up to no good and then they will chew up things, they basically want to learn and be challenged to use their brains. It did Kia a hell lot of good, due to having a docked tail (fucking stupid breeding standards, I am so happy they outlawed that now) a lot of dogs couldn't tell she's friendly and bit her, so she was a bit stand offish with other dogs and growled - sort of "Stay away, I don't want to get bitten again..." Now with Alfie, he has the tail, he plays with other dogs, she hangs back a bit, when she's sure that the dog is friendly, she will join in and play chase with them. Alfie was pretty afraid of kids, he does the same with kids but lets Kia have the lead there as she adores kids and will go up to kids just to sniff them and rub her head against them, our neighbour's kid learned to walk while hanging over her shoulders and she did little steps, used her snout to break his fall when he was losing his balance... Both of them are such adorable beasts... Let me find a pic and throw it up [image]http://i54.tinypic.com/ztfbs4.jpg[/image] Kia is the silly girl wrapped up in a blankie and Alfie is the slightly bemused giant...

He hardly has any fur on his penis, but if it is alright, I mail you on the other side, if you could get some for me (as I have no clue what it is here) I will of course pay you for it, or maybe there is something you will need or want from the UK? Thanks so much for that info

I have no insite LC, but I do have a huge soft spot for furries so I wish you and your furries all the best. I hope he is well soon. Id be lost without my booo

LadyConstanze -> RE: Dog health question... (5/21/2011 2:24:55 PM)
Thanks Lucy, the cats are delighted, they have another dog slave and my little ratman has 2 dogs to groom now, apart from the "drippy dick" problem, they are all fine and happy, though I do have to admit sofa space is a bit scarce with the cats and dogs trying to all pile on top of me. It seems to be a competition of "who can cover most of mommy..." They're heavy too...
