My bulldog puppy has started having erections and today started bleeding from his penis. Is this normal?

Question

He isn't fixed, and it's just been a few drops of blood.

Answer 1

There are two things to think about when bleeding occurs from the penis.
The first is an injury to the penis or some other part of the urinary tract
leading to the hemorrhage. The second is a bleeding disorder that is
affecting the entire dog but showing up as bleeding from the penis. It is
important to note that occasional instances of small amounts of bleeding
from the penis (several drops but enough to be noticeable) are not highly
unusual in intact male dogs and often do not seem to cause any significant
problems. This is especially true when they are aware of a female in heat
but not able to breed with her. It sounds like you are seeing more bleeding
than this, though.

The most common problem leading to bleeding in intact male dogs is almost
certainly prostate disease. The prostate can be palpated in dogs by rectal
palpation and if the prostate is greatly enlarged it would increase the
likelihood of prostatic problems as the cause of the observed bleeding. The
antibiotics are a good choice in this case. Prostate infections are often
poorly responsive to antibiotics and they must be used for long periods of
time in some dogs to get control of the infections --- it is not unusual to
have to use antibiotics for 6 to 8 weeks. Prostate hypertrophy in the
absence of infection also occurs and can lead to bleeding from the penis. I
think that this is probably the major reason that we see occasional
bleeding episodes in some male dogs who never really seem to be ill from
the problem. This is especially true of young male dogs who are sexually
frustrated by the presence of a female in heat.

Injuries to the penis are not too unusual in dogs that have learned to
masturbate in response to sexual frustration. It is a good idea to examine
the penis for signs of injury whenever bleeding is seen. We have also seen
injuries to the prepuce that were difficult to locate, including one dog
who had managed to fun over a stick in just the right path to push it
several inches into his sheath, where it caused a great deal of hemorrhage
but was not visible.

Bleeding disorders are not especially common in dogs but German shepherds
are one of the breeds that is prone to these problems, since there is a
higher than usual rate of hemophilia in GSDs. Checking for a bleeding
disorder with a coagulation profile or bleeding time tests would be
reasonable.

It does help to have access to an ultrasound machine when the prostate is
suspected to be the problem but it is reasonable to just treat for the
problems that can be treated for and hope for the best when access to this
type of testing is limited.

Answer 2

Go to the vet - some discharge (clear to yellowish) is normal is an unaltered male...blood is NOT!!!!!! Perhaps he whacked or scratched his erection on something - no, I am serious...

My advice, after getting him checked out, and while you are at the vet's office anyway, make an appointment to get him neutered ASAP - and then you will not have a bulldog walking aroung with a bloody penis:)

Answer 3

Erections in dogs even puppies is normal . Blood however isnt .but since he is just a puppy and it was just a few drops ,just monitor him for a few days if it becomes more call your vet.

Answer 4

Eating lots of leafy greens, whole grains, oysters, watermelon, and blueberries (most any fruit will work, really) will help you give your body all that it needs to improve the quality of your erections, while cutting out processed foods, cigarettes and alcohol will provide further benefits.

Answer 6

the bleeding isn't normal take him to the vet immediately

Answer 7

tearing the frenulum can happen. it will heal itself. If it happens again, I'd see the doctor. A little lidocaine, a little snip to the frenulum, and about a week to heal. And it's not a problem any more.

Answer 8

Oh sure bloody penis. Normal!

Answer 9

My dog did the same thing. I rushed him to the vet and they said he had heart worms and needed to be put to sleep. So I took him to another vet and they gave him a exspensive pill that sured him *WHEW*

ALWAYS GET TWO OPPINONS BEFORE PUTTING IT DOWN!!!!!!!
