This is not a joke. He is 17 yrs old and has been seen by a vet several times and apart from being on medication for arthritus and slight urinary incontinance he is in good health. However sometimes his penis swells up and goes purple and he gets extremely uncomfortable and runs around then throws himself down and he doesn't know what to do with himself !
This problem is not consistant with him needing a wee because it can happen 10 minutes after coming back from a walk. However it can sometimes stop after a wee for a while anyway. He was neutured about 2 years ago because of a swollen prostate and this has only happened in the past 6 months.
I find it quite distressing, but my partner says I am over-reacting and the vet isn't too concerned either.
Has anyone come across this before and can I stop worrying ?
