I have a 4 yo male neutered Border Collie-type dog. Occasionally, I have noticed a fairly firm, walnut sized swelling in his sheath (presumably having to do with the penis itself) at the base near where his testicles "should" be. It seems to happen when he is excited- not sexually, but running around, high energy, chasing a toy, panting heavily, etc. The rest of his penis is not visable when this happens. The lump disappears within 20 seconds or so if he calms down and lies still.
I'm pretty sure this is within the realm of "normal" but I was wondering if anyone can give me any more information about this phenomenon. He doesn't show any other abnormalities, nor any signs of illness or discomfort.
Thanks for your serious and well educated replies!
