Balanoposthitis is inflammation of the penis (balanitis) and prepuce (posthitis). Smegma is the normal sloughing of cells and accumulation of debris. Smegma provides nutrients for bacterial growth. Anything which disrupts the normal integumentary barrier; including wounds or foreign bodys predispose to balanoposthitis.
Clinical signs include licking the prepuce and a yellow green discharge. The dog is normal in other respects.

Examination of the penis is essential to rule-out foreign bodies and lymph follicles in the area of the bulbus glandis.
Treatment is to irrigate the preputial sheath with dilute potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds, antibiotic steroid combination, or mechanical removal of lymphoid follicles.

The discharge could well be smegma...lots of male dogs (even neutered ones) have it and while it's not terribly attractive, it's perfectly normal.

However, if it really is pus, your dog is likely to have an infection (and as you've not given much information and I can't see your dog, I can't tell you either way) and requires treatment.

Best action is to at least call and speak to your vet, or take him in if you are worried.

Hey, you have my name, lol. I think you should take your dog to the vet a.s.a.p. Sounds like he has an infection and an infection can kill if left untreated. Good luck.
