Paraphimosis

[harvey88 40]

 

Bit of a strange one...my 8 month old whippet dog pup all of a sudden decided to start dry humping thin air earlier he got a full erection as if he had just lined a bitch even though he obviously hadnt.

 

It took 20 mins to go down but still hasnt retracted properly. I rang a emergency vet and got told it was paraphimosis and got told to hold it in a handful of sugar to take away the swelling/fluids wash the sugar off then lubricate and try to pull the skin back over the part that hadnt retracted.

 

Anyway after doing this it helped a bit but still hasnt fully retracted hes eating fine and passing urine so the emergency vet told me to see my local vet in the morning.

 

Has anyone else ever had a dog suffer with this and what was the outcome ? Because ive been told it can be quite bad.

Never had it but mates terrier had the same issue when a youngster he rang the vet and the vet asked him if he had any ky jelly to hand lol in the end the vet sorted some cream out which did the trick. On a serious note think it can be pretty rough on the dog at the time and needs sorting atb

Yes mate hes a bit tender to say the least lol not in proper pain though ive got him crated up and hes sleeping well enough. I will be at vets early doors with him. Just hope its not a reaccurring problem or will be a pain in the bollocks lol

My cousins whippet use to try humping dogs and bitches even there heads.when they would move off he would just stand there pumping air.he had a full erection 1 day and it wouldn't go back in the vet manipulated it back in and recommended a vasectomy to sort it out I think the dogs ok now.

Yeh mate the emergency vet reccomended when it was sorted getting him neutered but i dont like the sound of it for number of reasons but i suppose if it stops any more problems in the future i will just have to have it done.

Looks like the sugar and vaseline worked well its sorted itself over night hes back to normal this morning.

 

I panicked a lad i spoke to over the phone last night for some advice before i wrote on here had only ever heard of it once before and it ended up in the dog being pts.

My cousins whippets insides were swollen aswell not a good thing

Let a cold water hose trickle on it for 5 minutes and swelling will go down enough for you to fold back out skin and it will retract.
